Our story

About us

Júnior Jacques was born from the meeting of two worlds. Afonso’s grandfathers, Albano Pereira Júnior, a pharmacist and chemist, and Jacques Joaquim, a lover of good times and great company, are honoured in a unique way through this brand that’s passionate about medronho.

Júnior Jacques brings together technical rigour with life and the moment, with craftsmanship—making innovation through medronho spirit one of the places it calls home.

It’s this duality that takes shape in every product from the brand. From this alchemy comes its creation: a unique, award-winning medronho spirit that, year after year, has been winning over the world with a distinctive taste of Portugal—of the Alentejo southwest and the Vicentina Coast. We invite you to discover more about our craft.

In our shop, or in person, you can find out more about Júnior Jacques.
