Symphony of Oaxacan Terroir
Experience the captivating harmony of Neta Ensamble, a unique and thoughtfully crafted mezcal that blends the distinct profiles of three wild Oaxacan agave varieties: Pulquero (Agave potatorum), Cuixe Verde (Agave karwinskii variant), and Madrecuixe (Agave karwinskii).
This ensamble showcases the exceptional skill and artistry of the Neta collective, known for their dedication to preserving traditional methods and celebrating the diverse agave heritage of Oaxaca. Each agave is individually distilled and then carefully blended to create a mezcal that is both complex and beautifully balanced.
Neta works collaboratively with families of mezcaleros in Oaxaca, ensuring fair practices and the production of exceptional spirits that reflect the unique terroir and traditions of their respective villages. This ensamble is a testament to their commitment to agave diversity and the art of blending.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: The nose opens with a vibrant and layered bouquet. The Pulquero contributes bright, fruity notes reminiscent of green apple and citrus zest, while the Cuixe Verde adds a distinct herbaceousness with hints of green bell pepper and a subtle minerality. The Madrecuixe brings earthy undertones, a touch of spice like white peppercorn, and a grounding vegetal quality. Together, they create a complex and inviting aromatic profile.
- Palate: The entry is lively and well-integrated, showcasing the individual characteristics of each agave in a harmonious blend. The Pulquero's fruity sweetness mingles with the Cuixe Verde's refreshing green notes and the Madrecuixe's savory earthiness. Expect flavors of roasted agave, a touch of salinity, and a subtle peppery spice that dances on the tongue. The texture is smooth and inviting, leading to a nuanced mid-palate where the individual agave notes continue to evolve.
- Finish: The finish is long and complex, with the different agave expressions lingering in a balanced way. The fruity notes from the Pulquero fade into the herbaceousness of the Cuixe Verde, while the earthy and spicy undertones of the Madrecuixe provide a grounding warmth. A final hint of minerality and a pleasant dryness leave a lasting and memorable impression.
Neta Ensamble: Pulquero + Cuixe Verde + Madrecuixe is a testament to the art of blending and the incredible diversity of Oaxacan agave. It's a sophisticated and intriguing mezcal perfect for sipping neat and exploring the nuanced flavors of these three distinct wild agaves

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.
