Experience a one-of-a-kind night that brings together passion, heritage, and the future of tequila.

We proudly welcome Roberto López, founder and visionary behind the up-and-coming El Sabino Distillery (NOM 1643) — a rising force in Jalisco’s highlands. Roberto's devotion to preserving traditional methods while championing innovation makes him one of the most exciting new voices in agave spirits. Every bottle that leaves El Sabino carries his commitment to purity, honesty, and the soul of Mexico.

Joining him is Oscar Vázquez Camarena, a gifted master blender whose name is becoming synonymous with excellence. Born into one of the most respected tequila families, Oscar blends history with innovation, crafting expressions that are layered, elegant, and deeply memorable. His work with Manuscrito is already drawing attention from aficionados and experts alike as some of the finest new tequila on the market.

Together, Roberto and Oscar represent the new generation of tequila — rooted in legacy but unafraid to evolve. Their knowledge, talent, and dedication are reshaping the landscape of agave spirits.

From field to barrel to bottle, Roberto’s fingerprints are on every stage of this limited masterpiece.
