100% maguey Arroqueño (A.Americana var. oaxacensis) harvested from the wild and produced in the deepest depths of the Sola de Vega district, right on the border with the Mixteca region.

More Arroqueño, out of the oven
This region of Oaxaca has a greater history of ‘mota’ production (marijuana) than agave spirits. In recent years it’s become a significant growing region for agave that’s then produced in more famous communities like Santa Catarina Minas.
But there’s a couple of people who have been making spirits for the community in the most rustic ways imaginable. Behold this incredible micro batch clay pot Arroqueño.
