NETA Espadín: A Masterwork by Don Celedonio Aquino
Experience the soulful expression of Logoche with this limited-release NETA Espadín.
Crafted in the arid heat of the Oaxacan sun, this expression is a testament to the ancestral knowledge of the Aquino family. Don Celedonio, a third-generation palenquero, works alongside his wife, Telésfora, to transform 100% capón agaves into a mezcal of profound depth and character.
Distilled in May 2021 and released in a micro-batch of only 264 bottles, this Espadín captures a specific moment in time, the "scorching months" where sugars concentrate, and the terroir of Miahuatlán speaks most clearly.
Product Highlights
- Maestro Palenquero: Celedonio Aquino Gutiérrez (with Telésfora Aquino)
- Agave Source: 100% Capón Espadín (Agave angustifolia)
- Origin: Logoche, Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
- Distillation Date: May 2021
- Small Batch: Only 264 bottles produced
- Composition: A precise "corte" (cut) of heads, hearts, and tails for a full-spectrum profile.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: The nose opens with the hallmark mineral-forward character of Logoche soil. Initial notes of damp earth and roasted agave are complemented by a bright, floral sweetness reminiscent of desert blooms after a rain. Subtle hints of dried herbs and a whisper of wood smoke linger in the background.
- Palate: On the palate, this Espadín is remarkably structured. Because the agaves were harvested at the peak of the dry season, the honey-like sweetness is concentrated, balanced by savory undertones. Expect layers of green peppercorn, roasted tropical fruit (pineapple/plantain), and a distinct saline minerality.
- Finish: The finish is long, clean, and elegant. It leaves a velvety coating on the tongue with a gentle warmth, echoing the ancestral craftsmanship of the Aquino family. A final touch of bittersweet cocoa and mint provides a refreshing, complex end to the sip.
The "Capón" Difference:
Don Celedonio allows these agaves to reach full maturity, cutting the quiote (flowering stalk) and letting the plant rest in the field. This "capón" method forces the agave to concentrate its energy and sugars in the heart, resulting in a richer, more viscous spirit.

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.
