Perro Verde was born from a shared vision of craftsmanship, love for nature's rare beauties, and the belief that mezcal should be smooth, allowing the flavors and aromas unique to each plant to shine—and never be overpowered by smoke or alcohol. Together, they crafted a spirit that honors ancestral traditions backed by innovation that celebrates the rare.

Juan Santiago Rodriguez and Mariana Carvajal are the driving forces behind Perro Verde. They bring structure to a dream, fueling the ambition to share rare mezcal expressions with those who seek the extraordinary. With a fashion luxury background, the brand’s creative soul draws on elements of antique apothecaries, botanical elegance, and mysticism, creating a sensorial universe around the spirit—transforming Perro Verde into more than just a mezcal: an experience.

At the heart of it all is Porfirio Chagoya and his family—a master mezcalero and heir to a 120-year family legacy. Blending ancestral craft with innovation, he transforms agaves into smooth, refined, sustainable, and deeply expressive mezcals that appeal to a wider audience.

Captivated by Perro Verde’s enigmatic liquid and storytelling around the rare and exceptional, actor Benicio del Toro joined forces and became more than an ally. With his enigmatic spirit—a true example of what a Perro Verde is—he contributes to building an exceptional brand around an outstanding liquid from a magical place called Oaxaca.
