This is a field blend of Brocha (Agave angustifolia) and Ixtero Amarillo (Agave rhodacantha), meaning that these agaves were harvested and cooked together, hand milled together, co-fermented, and then distilled. Not only are these agaves quite unique, the Partida family has harvested plants that are “capón” for more than 3 years, which far exceeds the industry standard. Capón describes an agave whose quiote, or reproductive stalk, has been cut, but the plant itself is left alive in the ground for the sugars to continue to concentrate. In this case, the result is a rich autumnal spirit with full of damp forest floor, soft sweet potato, toasted hazelnut and the rind of hard cheese.
