Caminitos Agave Spirits
About the Brand
Caminitos is built around a familiar and compelling foundation: exploration, relationships, and a respect for traditional mezcal production. The name, meaning “little paths,” refers to both the literal roads leading to rural palenques and the founders’ journey through Mexico’s mezcal-producing regions. Rather than focusing on a single producer or village, Caminitos sources from multiple regions across Mexico, aiming to highlight a diversity of agave traditions, techniques, and terroirs.
