The Story

Loved by presidents, leaders, and captains of industry, and now sitting as the pinnacle in the Lost Mexican range. The Reposado is a fitting epitaph to the life’s work of one of the early Cornish miners to venture to Mexico.

By 1870, Stanley Kiernan, the son of a Penzance distiller, was the last of a ragtag bunch of miners who had set sail from Cornwall and made their home in Central Mexico. He had spent decades playing with local flavours to create the world’s first range of Cornish-made Mezcal.

Now an old man and as much a Mexican as he ever was a Cornishman, he would take a bottle of his best Reposado up to the Panteón Inglés, where his compatriots lay.

With a wry smile on his weathered face as the memories of their exploits stirred in his mind, he would sit among their tombstones, all facing towards Kernow, and raise a glass to his old friends and their transatlantic adventures.
