Hacienda Oponguio Mezcal
About the Brand
The Hacienda Oponguio story was born at the beginning of the 20th century when Juan Mejia Gomez began producing mezcal on the Riviera off Lake Patzcuaro in Oponguio Michoacán, Mexico. Two generations later, Juan Manuel Mejia Hernandez resumed the tradition and finally in 2015 the official Hacienda Oponguio brand was released. Maestro Mezcalero Miguel Angel Jaramillo Hernandez along with his son Luis Angel Jaramillo Zuñiga create each of the batches in their distillery.
