El Padrino Tequila is produced by Casa Maestri, one of the most awarded tequila distilleries in Mexico. Casa Maestri was founded in 2008 by Michael and Celia Maestri. While they produce many lines of tequila, they recently started a new brand called El Padrino, named after Celia’s grandfather. Don Pedro Barragán was a small town farmer in the state of Michoacan, Mexico and earned the nickname El Padrino, or godfather, because he would give a quart of rice, beans, and flour to the poor each day.
His granddaughter, Celia Maestri, is now honoring his generosity by launching a tequila brand in his name, El Padrino.
