Neta Madrecuixe Capón (May 2014) | Ranulfo García Pacheco
A truly rare and historical bottling, this Neta Madrecuixe Capón represents the masterful handiwork of Maestro Ranulfo García Pacheco from a production run dating back to May 2014. Distilled from Madrecuixe Capón agave (karwinskii) grown on the family's rocky red-and-white soils in El Saúz, Miahuatlán, this spirit is a living testament to a unique, time-honored tradition.
This batch was held in reserve, a "family savings," and released only now, offering a pristine glimpse into the Maestro's legacy before he transitioned to a supervisory role in 2019. Distilled once in a copper pot still utilizing the increasingly rare refrescadera technique, it achieves a remarkably clean spirit brimming with robust flavor at a potent 48.7% ABV. The process, which involves condensing vapors back into the pot for reheating before final collection, yields an intense yet pristine expression of the Miahuatlán terroir.

Tasting Notes: Madrecuixe Capón (May 2014)
- Aroma: Immediately bright and mineral-driven. Distinct notes of wet terracotta, rock salt, and crushed oyster shell are layered over sweet, earthy tones of cooked pumpkin and sweet potato. A clean, high-toned floral spice reminiscent of white pepper and chamomile emerges on the finish.
- Flavor: The palate is complex, structured, and long. It opens with a vibrant citrus peel—lime and bitter orange—and quickly transitions to a dense core of green bell pepper, fresh spearmint, and anise. The unique capón (cut stalk) agave imparts a depth of savory, dry-wood smoke and nutty earth.
- Mouthfeel: Full-bodied and oily with a commanding texture that beautifully manages the high proof. The heat is present but perfectly integrated, delivering a warm, lingering minerality and a sharp, clean lift that avoids any harshness.
- Finish: Long, evolving, and exceptionally clean. Leaves behind a signature mix of petrichor (earth after rain), mesa-side dust, and a lingering, sweet cacao nib bitterness.

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.
