Mezcal producer Casa Armando Guillermo Prieto (Casa AGP) is set for a boost after signing an exclusive Mexico distribution deal with Bacardi.

Javier Flores, Casa AGP's operative director said: “With distribution being handled by Bacardi Mexico, our mezcal line will now have a bigger impact in the market, broadening its reach significantly.”
Casa AGP owns Mexico's largest mezcal manufacturing facility in Oaxaca, Tlacolula de Matamoros Township.
Constantino Spas, Bacardi Mexico's MD, said: “This commercial agreement makes Bacardi the first global spirits company to have a complete and competitive mezcal portfolio in Mexico. The mezcal category is experiencing extraordinary growth and has incredible potential.”
