Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose opens with a compelling interplay of sweet and savory notes. Expect aromas of roasted agave alongside hints of green peppercorn, fresh herbs like mint and eucalyptus, and a subtle earthy minerality. A touch of tropical fruit, such as green banana or guava, may emerge with aeration, adding complexity to the aromatic profile.
- Palate: The entry is vibrant and full-bodied, delivering a distinct vegetal character characteristic of Bicuixe. Flavors of cooked agave are prominent, accompanied by a refreshing salinity and a noticeable herbaceousness that evolves on the palate. Notes of green bell pepper, a subtle bitterness, and a hint of spice contribute to its intriguing complexity. The higher ABV provides a pleasant warmth and amplifies the nuanced flavors.
- Finish: The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lingering impression of both sweetness and a dry, herbaceous quality. The minerality persists, intertwined with a subtle peppery spice and a final whisper of the unique vegetal notes that define this Bicuixe expression.
Neta Bicuixe offers a direct and powerful connection to the wild agave of Oaxaca. It's a mezcal for those seeking to explore the singular flavors of less common agave varieties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
