The agaves are roasted in an adobe oven, fueled by black oak, above the ground, initiating a flavor journey that is as intriguing as it is unique. The true hero of the process, however, is the rare and exotic tree trunk known as Bonete (Jacaratia Mexicana), found only along Mexico’s Pacific coast.
Utilizing this unique tree trunk during the distillation introduces a distinct flavor profile that remains unmatched by modern, high-efficiency stills. Despite the Bonete’s low yield and short lifespan, producers in Jalisco hold immense pride in continuing this ancient practice, believing it to be vital in upholding their cultural heritage.
