NETA Tequilana Capón:
The Spirit of Logoche Meets the Blue Weber
Discover a fascinating bridge between two worlds. While the Agave tequilana is the world-famous heart of Tequila, this expression reimagines the plant through the lens of Logoche, Miahuatlán. Historically grown for industrial production in Jalisco, these immaculately cared-for agaves were reclaimed by brothers Ramón and Wilfrido García Sánchez after the 2020 pandemic shifted the market.
Distilled in April 2021 from agaves grown by their uncle Eduardo, this 415-liter batch is a masterclass in terroir. It strips away the industrial profile of commercial spirits, revealing how the red earth of Miahuatlán transforms a familiar agave into something unique and deeply ancestral.

Tasting Notes
- Aroma: The nose is an intriguing hybrid. It carries the familiar, bright citrus and cooked agave notes typical of the species, but it is immediately grounded by the "Logoche profile." Deep iron-rich mineral notes, dry brush, and a savory, almost buttery lactic quality rise from the glass.
- Palate: On the palate, the Tequilana’s natural elegance takes center stage, offering flavors of sweet grapefruit zest, white pepper, and caramelized pear. However, the brothers' craftsmanship and the local terroir add a rustic complexity: a mid-palate of wet stone, smoked herbs, and a hint of wild honey. The "capón" maturation provides a silky, weighted mouthfeel that is far more viscous than a standard Tequila.
- Finish: The finish is crisp and educational. It tapers off with a lingering mineral dryness and a touch of roasted nuts. It serves as a perfect "teaching tool," allowing the drinker to distinguish the bright, herbal fruitiness of the agave species from the earthy, robust soul of the Oaxacan soil.
The Terroir Lesson:
This batch offers a rare opportunity to taste the "Blue Weber" agave outside of its usual context. By using traditional Miahuatlán techniques, including underground pit roasting and copper pot distillation, the García Sánchez brothers demonstrate that terroir is as influential as the agave species itself.

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.
