Estaca Founder Spotlight

Emmanuel Kemiji and Keith Lauck are the adventurous minds behind ESTACA Bacanora, two pioneers driven by a passion for authenticity, heritage, and exploration. United by their love for discovering exceptional terroir spirits, they ventured deep into the rugged landscapes of Sonora, where centuries-old distilling traditions meet the wild heart of the agave Pacifica. Their vision was simple yet bold: honor the craft, elevate the category, and share the untold story of Bacanora with the world. Through dedication, respect for ancestral methods, and a relentless pursuit of quality, Emmanuel and Keith have created a spirit that captures both the soul of Sonora and the spirit of their own relentless curiosity.
