Austin, Texas - April Trip
Recently spent a few days in Austin and came back feeling grateful for how warmly the agave community welcomed us.
During the trip we released a collaborative batch with Las Perlas and Travis Heights Wine & Spirits: a Cuche & Coyote (A. convallis & A. americana ssp.) ensamble from Santa María Sola de Vega, Oaxaca.
Cuche is a maguey known locally for creating heavy foam during fermentation and distillation, making the process slower and more demanding. Coyote helped bring balance and structure to the batch.
We also spent time with the crew at Mezcalería Tobalá inside Whisler's. Good conversations, good people, and hopefully future collaborations ahead.
The last two photos are back home at our palenque during the second distillation in clay pots.
Also… Austin BBQ absolutely lived up to the hype.
