Perro Verde Mezcal Tobasiche
Our first true love, the one that captured us, the reason we decided to embark on this journey. It’s rare, wild, and scarce, but noble, with a smoothness rarely found in mezcal. Rich, smoky, and spicy on the nose, somewhat salty, and imbued with sweet, fruity, tropical notes. The palate is delicate and fruity with an attractive charred oily quality which gives it a lengthy finish. Rarer than rare.

Brand Story
In the verdant heart of Oaxaca, where the golden rays of the sun whisper to the agave plants, Perro Verde's journey unfolds. Two mezcal aficionados, driven by a fiery vision, embarked on a pilgrimage not only of distance but of soul. Seeking to redefine luxury spirits with the wild, unrestrained essence of mezcal, they traversed ancient landscapes, seeking out manifestations of ancestral artistry and the raw vitality of the agave plant.
Crafted from the most enigmatic Oaxacan agave in collaboration with master Mezcaleros, our award-winning mezcals pay tribute to tradition while embodying rare beauty. Each sip, smooth and exquisitely balanced, invites exploration—a call to those who embrace the road less traveled, where every moment is infused with the romance of the extraordinary.
In the realm of Perro Verde, the spirit isn’t just tasted—it is lived. It reflects a timeless dance of heritage, bold innovation, and eccentricity, waiting to be discovered by those with the courage to seek it.
"PERRO VERDE IS THE “ODD DUCK,” THE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUAL."
Rare Beauty
Our name comes from the expression in Spanish: “Más raro que un perro verde” (in english, rarer than a green dog).
The origin of the saying itself is the rare phenomenon when puppies are born with light green fur due to contact with a pigment found in the mother’s gall bladder called biliverdin.
PERRO VERDE IS THE “ODD DUCK,” THE EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUAL.
Luxury, to us, is appreciating what is rare. It is about unconventional beauty.
Perro Verde is produced from rare plants, with careful craftmanship, in numbered small batches. The nahual on our bottle represents the mystical connection of the journey to self-discovery.
Our commitment is to deliver the most authentic, highest quality, rarest liquid available and to immerse our community in experiences that express our love of eccentricity, for those who enjoy the road less traveled.
