Among their wide diversity of cultivated agave, Miguel and Macurio Partida focus heavily on two subvarieties at the heart of their family taberna: Brocha (Agave angustifolia) and Ixtero Amarillo (Agave rhodacantha). This ensamble aptly represents the balance of these two species and serves as a summarization of the family’s unique production of historical mezcal in Jalisco.

"Crafted from the Brocha variety, this mezcal is produced using the capón technique, wherein the agaves' stalks are removed after sprouting, and the plants are then left in the field for up to 3 years. This traditional method enhances flavor development by further concentrating the sugars within the agave plants. The end result is a rich and velvety mezcal that delivers decadent sweet and spiced notes on the palate, and enticing hints of leather and smoke."
