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.
Product Specifications

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.

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.
