Featured Agave Varieties:
Espadín – The most widely cultivated variety and genetic parent of blue agave. Approachable, versatile, and distinct from village to village.
Tobaziche – From the Karwinskii family, this tall, yucca-like agave takes 20–25 years to mature and produces a complex, earthy spirit.
Tepextate – A majestic agave that can take up to 35 years to blossom. Known for producing intensely perfumed mezcals, reminiscent of Gewürztraminer wine.
Mexicano – A sub-variety of Agave Rhodacantha, offering mezcals that balance sweet and savoury notes with spiced undertones.
Tobalá – The “King of Agaves.” Small, rare, and dependent on bats for pollination, producing rich, elegant, and highly prized mezcals.
Dobadaán (Rhodacantha) – Thrives in pine and oak forests from Oaxaca to Sonora, producing deep, layered flavours.
Madrecuixe – Another Karwinskii family member, tall and woody with herbal, vegetal notes and a distinctive green flavour profile.
Arroqueño – A wild agave that matures after two decades, yielding mezcals with candied aromas, earthy depth, and hints of bitter chocolate.
