TEQUILERO
(A. TEQUILANA)
ISIDRO RODRIGUEZ
Rio de Parras, Querendaro Michoacán
0125IRM, 48%, 400 bottles, January, 2025

The positive results from Isidro’s experiment with tequilana agaves in 2024
prompted him to buy another truckload of plants from Maravatio, about 40 miles
northeast of his home. The batch showcases the character of the tequilana
agaves as well as anything produced in Jaslico, but Isidro’s smaller scale and
more traditional / less industrial techniques preserve a world of terroir that gets
stripped out of modern tequilas.
Isidro is a first generation mezcalero who began distilling when he was 19 years
old. After sharing his village’s communal vinata for many years, he built his own
in 2015, where he currently works with his sons and son-in-law.
