Heritage
Former pro soccer player Oscar Zepeda is disrupting the spirits industry with authentic tequila that pays homage to his Mexican roots
Mexican-born former professional soccer player Oscar Zepeda views his family’s craft tequila business not as a celebrity-driven nightlife product, but rather as a conduit to educate consumers about his homeland’s heritage. Producing their tequila independently from the agave fields in Mexico to their production facility in Boston, Zepeda is dedicated to creating good paying jobs for the Latinx community here and abroad.
