Mexicano (Agave rhodacantha) is among the most widespread agave varieties in Mexico, with examples turning up and even being cultivated from Sonora to Oaxaca and beyond. It typically looks quite similar to the more well-known Azul (Agave tequilana) and Espadín (Agave angustifolia), but is larger with denser, more abundant spiney leaves called pencas. Often associated with higher sugar content and more vibrant fruit tones, Mexicano is hard to predict, and can run a wide range of flavor profiles–from highly mineral and dense with salt and earth, to bold and citrusy. Produced Oaxaca, Mexico, the agave is cooked in a horno (conical earthen oven), milled using a horse-driven stone tahona, and naturally fermented in open-air wooden tanks called tinas before being distilled twice using copper pot stills. 48.1% ABV (Alcohol will vary with each batch).
