Chacolo Brocha: Hand-Milled Destilado de Agave
Discover the pure, focused expression of Jalisco's native agave with Chacolo Brocha.
This destilado de agave is a singular spirit crafted exclusively from the Maguey Brocha (Agave Angustifolia), a prized varietal related to the familiar Espadín.
A Dedication to Maturation
This spirit's depth of flavor begins in the field:
- The Maguey Brocha is allowed to mature for approximately 7 years.
- It then undergoes an additional 3 years of capón (cutting the quiote or flower stalk), concentrating the sugars and enriching the agave's natural flavor profile.
Ancestral Production
Chacolo Brocha is a tribute to time-honored techniques from Zapotitlan de Vadillo:
- The carefully harvested agave hearts are cooked in a traditional underground oven, imbuing them with deep, smoky sweetness.
- The cooked agave is hand-milled with axes, a highly labor-intensive method that ensures the natural character and texture of the fibers remain intact. Fermentation occurs naturally in wooden tinas, harnessing the environment's native yeast and pure mountain spring water for a unique, terroir-driven character.
- The final spirit is meticulously double distilled in a Filipino-style still, producing a smooth, aromatic, and distinctively elegant result.
Tasting Notes
The extended maturation and capón process delivers a concentrated and balanced flavor profile:
- Aroma: Highly aromatic with a pronounced core of cooked agave sweetness, complimented by bright notes of white flowers, a hint of green bell pepper, and a subtle earthy minerality (wet clay).
- Palate: Clean, vibrant, and agave-forward. It delivers flavors of honeycomb, roasted sweet potato, and a dusting of cinnamon. The Angustifolia nature provides a delightful balance of sweetness and a characteristic peppery spice on the mid-palate, giving it a lively texture.
- Finish: Medium-long and refreshing. It concludes with a satisfying, clean dryness, leaving traces of almond and a gentle, lingering warmth.
Chacolo Brocha is a beautiful example of pure Agave Angustifolia—perfect for sipping neat to appreciate its exceptional clarity and craftsmanship.

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.
