Brothers Seth & Zac Longaker's have always had an entrepreneurial spirit. In 1997, they launched Oddball.com, a specialty shoe store catering to guys with big feet—turning a personal frustration into a thriving business. Their curiosity for new and exciting opportunities, along with their drive for innovation and passion for craftsmanship, eventually led them down an unexpected yet fateful path.

Their deep connection to Mexico began in their college days in San Diego in the early 1990s. Countless trips across the border fostered a lifelong appreciation for the country—its people, culture, and legendary spirits. Years later, while in León, Guanajuato, searching for artisans to craft a handmade leather footwear line for Oddball.com, they found themselves unwinding one evening on the rooftop of a local café, swapping stories with a tequila connoisseur while sampling several different tequilas. That night, what started as casual conversation sparked something bigger—a fascination that would eventually lead them to the highlands of Jalisco.

Stimulated by their rooftop rendezvous, the brothers became enamored with the idea of creating their own tequila. Their newfound passion set them on a relentless journey through Jalisco’s highlands, where they visited distilleries, farms, and estates in search of the perfect partnership. Their quest finally led them to a family-owned distillery just outside Jesús María—Hacienda La Esperanza, now known as Hacienda El Olvido. by their rooftop rendezvous, the brothers became enamored with the idea of creating their own tequila.

There, they met the López sisters and their mother, the matriarchs of a small but fiercely proud tequila-making family. Through shared meals, laughter, and, of course, tequila, a deep bond was forged. The family’s generational knowledge and commitment to traditional methods became the foundation of what would become Acre Largo.

What began as a late-night conversation with a new friend has evolved into a tequila that honors tradition while embracing the spirit of adventure. Acre Largo is more than just a spirit—it’s a tribute to craftsmanship, culture, and the pursuit of something truly extraordinary.
