Rezpiral Series 9: Reina Sánchez — Pulquero & Coyote Agave Spirit
This incredibly rare co-distillation from Rezpiral Series 9 showcases the blending mastery of Maestra Mezcalera Reina Sánchez, operating in San Baltazar Chichicapam, Oaxaca. Known for her exacting precision and deep reverence for wild magueys, Reina has crafted a brilliant ensemble expression by combining two highly distinct agave varieties: Pulquero (Agave salmiana) and Coyote (Agave lyobaa).
Rather than blending separate batches after the fact, Reina roasted, crushed, fermented, and distilled these two agaves together (ensamble), allowing their characteristics to marry intimately at every stage of production. The Pulquero brings its massive, deeply green, and savory structural profile—famous for its lactic and botanical undertones. The wild Coyote, an incredibly scarce and slow-growing agave, injects a fierce, earthy complexity, rich minerals, and a dark fruit sweetness. Following traditional methods, the plants were roasted in an underground stone pit, fermented naturally with wild yeasts in open wooden vats, and double-distilled in a copper alembic still. This is a masterful expression of balance and biodiversity.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Intricate, layered, and deeply captivating. It opens with an intriguing blend of tangy, lactic sourdough and bright green garden herbs—parsley, celery, and fennel—before giving way to a darker core of ripe plum, damp clay, and a soft, wispy mesquite smoke.
- Palate: Full-bodied and remarkably dynamic. The entry is subtly sweet, offering notes of cooked agave and dark berries, which quickly evolve into Pulquero's signature savory character. Mid-palate, you are treated to a complex wave of green olives, black peppercorn, and dark cacao, all bound together by a velvety texture.
- Finish: Long, elegant, and beautifully evolving. The savory green notes fade into a sweet, lingering resonance of anise, river stones, and a clean, flinty dryness that coats the mouth beautifully.
The Rezpiral Ethos:
Rezpiral operates as an independent bottling project and a proactive social enterprise. By practicing fair-trade commerce and reinvesting earnings directly into community-led agave nursery projects, Rezpiral works alongside maestros like Reina Sánchez to protect their artistic autonomy, their family lineages, and the ecological future of Oaxacan spirits.

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.
