This is a batch was made in October 2021 by Maestro Mezcalero Don Juan García. He was taught the craft by his father is continuing the family tradition by passing down knowledge to his son Israel García. He enjoys drinking Tobalá but prefers working with only wild agaves like this Mexicano, Espadín, Arroqueño, Tobaxiche, Verde, Amarillo, Madrecuixe, and Rabioso where he uses only one distillation with refrescadera, a method that is known in this area of Oaxaca. He gets his agaves from his land, and sometimes buys agaves from people he knows and trusts. Only 100 litres batch.
Excellent pairing for tapas and cheese plate!
