    Portrait of Lorenzo Martínez Monterroza

    i. Biography

    Lorenzo Martínez Monterroza is a Mexican mezcal producer associated with Palenque 5 Estrellas in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, where he is identified as being in charge of production. He is described in Spanish- and English-language sources as a young engineer and master mezcalero leading a family business that revived a multi-generational mezcal tradition with his sisters. The identity is supported by mezcal-focused sources and does not credibly match other hospitality or wine-industry professionals with similar names.
