Neta: Bicuixe & Espadín (Heriberto García Sánchez)

This exceptional ensemble comes from the sun-drenched hills of Logoche, Miahuatlán, a region renowned for its distinct soil and the expertise of its traditional producers. Crafted by Heriberto García Sánchez, this expression blends the wild, structural intensity of Bicuixe (Agave karwinskii) with the sweet, reliable foundation of Espadín (Agave angustifolia).

True to the Neta philosophy, this spirit is produced with minimal intervention. The agave is roasted in underground pits, fermented with well water and local yeasts, and distilled in small copper refreshcador stills. This method captures the "terroir" of Miahuatlán—a profile often defined by high-toned minerality and tropical fruit.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Brilliant and clear, showing a lively sparkle in the glass with strong, persistent legs. Aroma The nose is immediately struck by the "Miahuatlán signature": dry earth, limestone, and a bright, pine-forward freshness. Beneath the mineral veil lies a bouquet of tropical fruits—think grilled pineapple and overripe mango—accented by a hint of dried peppermint.

Palate: A beautiful tension between the two agave varieties. The Espadín provides a creamy, honeyed mid-palate, while the Bicuixe introduces structure with notes of cedar, tobacco leaf, and a spicy, peppery kick. There is a savory, saline quality that evokes the dry brush of the Oaxacan highlands.

Finish: Crisp and lingering. The finish moves from sweet roasted agave into a dry, resinous conclusion with a touch of citrus zest and white pepper.

Why It Stands Out

The use of the refreshcador (a cooling jacket on the still) allows Heriberto to achieve a higher proof in a single pass while preserving the delicate floral and fruity esters that can sometimes be lost in traditional double distillation. It is a sophisticated, "bright" spirit that serves as a perfect entry point into the complex world of Karwinskii blends.
