Where Science Meets Soul—Oscar Vazquez Camarena Turns Chemistry Into Craft at Tequila Corrido

To Oscar Vazquez Camarena, tequila is a blend of chemistry and emotion. Born in Jalisco and drawn to the magic of agave from an early age, he studied chemistry at the Universidad de Guadalajara with one goal in mind: to master the process of distillation through scientific principles.

After years working his way up at the renowned Destilería El Pandillo, he now leads as master distiller for Tequila Corrido, a spirit known for clean, additive-free expressions that let the agave speak for itself. “Science gives me control,” he says. “But soul gives it life.”

Camarena’s process is both precise and personal. Every step is backed by data but shaped by instinct. The result is tequila that tells a story — layered, honest, and full of character.

At Tequila Corrido, he isn’t just keeping old ways alive. He’s pushing them forward, creating tequila that respects its roots while reaching for something new.
