“Chinguus! 🤗 Today I’m bringing you one of the most special surprises I’ve ever done. My dad is a huge tequila and mezcal lover, but he never imagined what we had prepared for him! ❤️ Even though he had an aneurysm and the doctor recommended that he avoid alcohol and smoking, we decided to take the risk and gift him an unforgettable experience: visiting a palenque and making mezcal from scratch. 🌿 From the moment we arrived, my dad was beyond excited—he looked like a true expert talking about agave and distillation processes. 📱 (Yes, his phone is full of information about this 🤣). Seeing him so happy, learning and living his dream, was truly special. It was a day full of laughter, learning, and so much fun. Thanks to this trip, we created memories that will stay in our hearts forever! 🥰✨”

The López family has been producing mezcal in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca since 1956.

Currently, Sabina Mateo, who was married to the late Mario López, together with her sons Antonio and Adolfo López, manage the Casa López distillery.

The family is involved in every aspect of production, from cultivating their own agaves to distillation, bottling, and directly managing exports. This hands-on approach is said to ensure complete transparency and authenticity, from the field to the glass.
