Jorge Vera
Dr. Jorge Vera is a Oaxacan businessman with a PhD in economics from the London School of Economics. Having devoted part of his professional career to collaborating with the Mexican government, he later decided to return to Oaxaca and begin the “Mezcal Convite” project in 2013, which sought to act as the reference point for the promotion of mezcal culture. He is currently an active member of the mezcal community in Oaxaca and is president of the prestigious Clúster del Mezcal.
MEZCAL MAESTROS
Daniel and Tucho Hernández come from an age-old family of mezcaleros, with a heritage going back at least six generations. These two brothers task themselves with taking care of the ancestral land on which they harvest their agaves and are local pioneers in cultivating varieties that previously only grew in the wild. Working side by side, they put their deep respect and experience into each batch of their handcrafted mezcal.
