About San Cosme

San Cosme was founded in 2010 by 3 friends. Erik Lozano, Jose-Julian Carrera and Gernot Allnoch who have known each other since their childhood in Mexico, visiting the same school. 
After having gained experience in introducing several spirit brands in the Mexican market, Erik and Jose-Julian decided together with Gernot to do something similar in Europe as Gernot had moved back. They've always been fans of agave distillates and saw a lack of high quality agave on the European market and witnessed firsthand the fact that Mexico had to fight with odd clichés. So, they started to import a Mezcal, but quickly realized that it would make more sense to create their own brand. Having created their own brand they called it San Cosme. The name is derived from the mysticism of Saint Cosmas, the patron saint of doctors, who performed miracles curing all who sought his aid.
