The Carreño product line consists of six different Ultra Premium Mezcales. With the Mezcales Tobalá, Tepeztate, Espadín, Tobasiche, Cuishe, the focus is on representing the character of the corresponding agave plant in the best possible way in terms of taste and smell. The sixth Mezcal, which harmoniously complements the Premium Collection, is the Ensamble 7 Mezcal. The design of the Carreño bottles is based on a pre-Hispanic glass from the village of Mitla. The elegant wooden lid is carved from the wood of the Huanacaxtle tree

The sum of climate, microclimate, soil, agave diversity and soil composition form the term “terroir” (which literally means earth). The quality of Mezcal Carreño depends both on the terroir or terroir that gives each mezcal unique organoleptic characteristics, as well as on the manufacturing process and the touch of the mezcalero master.

The award-winning Mezcal Carreño are produced by the Carreño family. For more than 100 years, they have been making artisanal mezcal in San Dionisio Ocotlán, a town of just 1,000 people in Oaxaca, Mexico. Mezcal is made at Hacienda Carreño using traditional and sacred techniques that are passed down from generation to generation.

The history of Mezcal Carreño began in 1904 with Don Apolonio Carreño. He produced mezcal from the wild agaves that grew naturally on his property. On the same property he planted sugar cane, which he sold to rum producers. As a treasured spirit to be enjoyed on special occasions, Don Apolonio only sipped his homemade mezcal with family and friends three times a year: on his birthday, the start of the growing season, and the end of the harvest.

The Carreño family is committed to promoting the values of Mezcal culture around the world, such as its origin, its process and its importance in Mexican culture. Also, the goal is to give Mezcal Carreño the well-deserved place among other top-ranking spirits in the world. To preserve the family heritage, Carreño delivers authentic products that represent the essence of the Oaxacan region.
