The Blue label is our second expression and combines Arroqueno agave with Jabali and Tepeztate. Maguey Arroqueño (Agave americana var. oaxacensis) is a massive wild Maguey that can take upwards of 20 years to mature. It is the genetic mother of Maguey espadin, which is the most commonly used Maguey in Mezcal.

Many in the Mezcal industry are concerned that this wild Maguey will become increasingly rare as Mezcal's popularity rises, due to the extensive time required for these Magueyes to grow. Maguey jabali (Agave convallis) is extremely hard to work with. It foams and expands during fermentation and distillation, throwing havoc into the distillation process, but rewards us with an unrefined, bold flavour unlike any other agave.
