Campanilla Maguey Verde-Quiotero (Maestra Maria De La Luz Martinez)
Step into the ancestral heart of San Luis Potosí with this rare "Destilado de Agave" from one of the most respected figures in the region: Maestra Maria De La Luz Martinez. Produced in the small community of Palmar Segundo, this spirit is a masterclass in ancient technique and high-desert terroir.
The name "Verde-Quiotero" refers to a specific, traditional practice: the quiote (the agave's flowering stalk) is cut months before harvest. This allows the plant's sugars to concentrate fully in the heart (piña), resulting in a profile of remarkable depth. Distilled in a "Mongolian-style" internal clay pot still—locally known as a Campanilla for its bell-like shape—this spirit captures a delicate complexity that standard industrial methods simply cannot replicate.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Unbelievably savory and aromatic. It opens with "lactic" and "funk-forward" notes of cream cheese, jalapeño poppers, and olive brine. Beneath the savory surface lie hints of eucalyptus, cinnamon, and a distinct mineral "clay" earthiness.
- Palate: A rich, oily mouthfeel that coats the palate. Expect an explosion of vegetal and fruity flavors—pickled peppers, cucumber, and green apple candy balanced by the tropical sweetness of guava.
- Finish: Long, soft, and sophisticated. It lingers with a whisper of light smoke, sea salt, and a spicy, peppery warmth that stays with you for minutes.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
