Emanating notes of elote (Mexican street corn), jalapeno and persimmon, this craft spirit is made using two wild subspecies of the agave Salmiana in Palmar Segundo, San Luis Potosí. Distilled by brothers Daniel and Jesus Navarro, the ancesteral liquor is cooked in an above ground earthen oven using agave pencas (leaves) and roots. It is then milled with a tahona (horse-drawn grind stone), squeezed with a hammock-like net, fermented with pulque below ground in a stone and cement vat and distilled in three clay pots with a copper lid. Each batch is just 80 to 90 liters.

We visit and build personal relationships with all mezcaleros we purchase from. The producers we collaborate with belong to families that have been crafting traditional agave spirits for at least three generations. They utilize stills with a capacity of 250 liter or less. No two batches are ever the same.
Our appreciation for craft, quality and individuality carries into our packaging. We source handblown recycled glass for our 375 ml bottles from one of Mexico City's last independently owned glass shops. Just like each batch of our agave spirits, no two bottles are alike.

We also minimize the use of plastic whenever possible. Our labels are made by hand in Oaxaca from upcycled agave fibers. Tops are secured with natural wood corks and sealed with biodegradable wax. Our boxes are derived from cardboard. We also use corrugated cardboard, instead of bubble wrap, to secure our bottles in our tasting kit. Packaging for shipped bottles may include plastic, this is to insure the precious juice arrives safe and sound.
