Mezcal Carreño was founded in 1904 by Don Apolonio Carreño. At that time, he made Mezcal from the wild agaves that grew naturally on his property, land that ironically in some areas was used to grow sugarcane and it was sold to one of the biggest rum producers in the country. Each year, there were three big parties at Hacienda Carreño. The first was during Apolonio’s birthday on February 8th; the second party was held at the end of the sugar cane milling during April and the third started with the corn recollection at the end of the year. Nowadays, the tradition is alive because the family keeps making mezcal and preserves the original artisanal process by using organic plants that are harvested on their fields. We want to share the culture, tradition and heritage of the Carreño family from our terroir in San Dionisio Ocotlán, a town of only 1,000 inhabitants in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca. Our Mezcal continues its elaboration with traditional and sacred techniques that has been transmitted from generation to generation. They say that you do not find Mezcal, Mezcal finds you.
