In 2004, out of a sincere love and profound admiration for the true artisan spirits of Mexico and its gastronomic culture, AliasSmith was founded. The purpose was, and still is, to educate consumers, distributors and traders about Mexico’s gastro-cultural treasures and make the products accessible to the world.
AliasSmith is distributing, what we and leaders of opinion in the industry believe is, the best Mexican spirits in 22 different countries within and around Europe, offering education and training besides arranging multiple trips for experts to Mexico every year.
The work done since the foundation of AliasSmith has created a solid ground and we know we still have ahead of us the most exciting part of our development. Being aware that the world’s population is drinking less but select more cautiously what they consume we are totally sure we are on the right track working with handcraft, organic and CSR.
