El Tigre - Victoria 2021 51.9% ABV
In 2021, the first labrada began shortly before the first half of March. There was a lot of piñuela this whole month. By the end of it, the still was assembled with a new bottom pot, which required adaptation, trial, error, and adjustments. Cayo, Marcial and Silvano, the latter for a short period, were involved in the work at the chiva. This year, a total of 9 ovens were uncovered, given the change of the distillation instruments, there was a considerable
loss.
The maguey used for this expression was harvested from the Patricio García family land, mostly papalote, as is
generally the case in their terroir, without failing to take advantage of the range of mature maguey that reach the
ovens, we can say that there is always a small number of heads from maguey zacamexcal. This year, a huge mature
maguey pulque was also cut, assembled with zacamexcal and papalote.
A year with a lot of activity and life, after the isolation of 2020. Newborn calf, kitten and piglets, stewardships, and
weddings.
