Fernando Miranda was born and raised in northwest Mexico, and graduated as a Veterinary Zootechnician from the Technological Institute of Sonora. In 2017, he was tasked with finding someone to produce Bacanora for a project. He decided to take on the challenge himself. That same year he met Jorge Alaniz, interested in planting agave, with whom he shared a promising vision of producing a Bacanora. 

 

By 2022, Fernando began to consult for a number of distilleries in Sonora, among which are 42° Bacanora, Hojas Mágicas, Sunora, Dos Ranchos, Pasión and Hasta la Muerte. Additionally in 2023, he acted as an advisor for small Bacanora producers in the Sonoran mountains, representing the Regulatory Council of Bacanora. In 2024, he became the head distiller overseeing the production of ESTACA 1627 at the Jorge Alaniz ranch.
