The brand history

Founded in 2021 in San Pedro Quiatoni, Oaxaca, this ancestral mezcal is the result of the work of proud Zapotec farmers and artisans. The brand was created to preserve and elevate ancestral production methods passed down for generations.

Its process remains untouched by modern shortcuts: oak firewood cooking, fermentation in pine vats, and double distillation in clay pots using spring water and naturally cultivated agaves. Quiatoni is not just a name—it is a tribute to its land, a statement of identity, and a promise to carry its heritage to the world.
