Our Story

A mezcal shaped by the place it comes from.

Código 70470 was born in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca, where mezcal is not manufactured — it is inherited.

Our agave is grown on our land, harvested at maturity, cooked slowly in a traditional stone oven, crushed, naturally fermented, and distilled in copper with patience and precision.

Every bottle reflects the character of one place, one palenque, and generations of knowledge.

Why 70470?

Because 70470 is the postal code of San Juan del Río — the place we come from, the land where our agave grows, and the home of our palenque.

We chose it because our origin is not just part of the story. It is the story.

Rooted in the Land

At Ruiz Distillers, our mezcal
begins long before distillation.

From Our Land. By Our Hands.
Our Collection

Three expressions.
One origin.

Each expression begins with agave shaped by the same land, then reveals a character of its own.

Our Responsibility

What the land gives us, we have a responsibility to protect.

We care for our agave fields by hand, keep the surrounding land clean, and continue practices that respect the place our mezcal comes from.
