A rare ensamble from one of Neta's youngest producers, this mezcal unites wild Bicuixe capon and Espadín capon harvested under a full moon in the rocky highlands of Logoche, Miahuatlan, yielding just 200 liters of something genuinely singular.


Master distiller Juan Vasquez Jimenez crafted this batch entirely from capon agaves, a method that redirects the plant's energy inward by cutting the quiote before flowering. Roughly 900kg of two-year wild Bicuixe (Agave karwinskii) and a near-equal weight of one-year Espadín capon (Agave angustifolia) were harvested from white and red tierra cascajo soils in late September 2021, then distilled under NOM 142 in Logoche for a Spring 2023 release.


  • Nose: Sweet oranges, fennel, lime oil, and warm straw
  • Palate: Sweet roasted agave, verdant summer orchard, melon, tarragon, candied cherries, and peppery heat
  • Finish: Bright and sweet with a dry minerality

This mezcal's layered sweetness and herbal complexity make it a natural fit for a Mezcal Negroni or a Oaxacan Old Fashioned, where its orchard fruit and peppery character can shine alongside bitter or smoky counterparts.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to open up the aromatics. A small-batch ensamble of wild Bicuixe capon and Espadín capon from Logoche, Miahuatlan.

Tasting Notes

NETA works closely with over twenty small, family producers from the southern valleys and hills of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, many of whom are members of the cooperative Grupo Productor Logoche. Situated at the southern tip of the Central Valleys and the foot of the Sierra Madre del Sur mountains, the area is renowned for the strong character of its people, its diverse landscapes, and the rich agricultural and culinary traditions that have been maintained throughout generations. As such, the region has preserved its reputation for producing some of the finest spirits in Mexico. Each production is unique and bottled at still-strength by members and family members of the co-op and the quantity produced is relative to the number of agaves cooked in an oven and their respective yield.

Logoche, Oaxaca

Map of Oaxaca, Mexico, with Logoche marked

Logoche is a Zapotec farming community of about 110 people in the municipality of San Luis Amatlán, in the Miahuatlán district. It lies where the southern edge of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales meets the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur, in a semi-warm climate. Alongside subsistence farming, mezcal is one of the main ways families make a living, and most producers keep their own agave nurseries. Harvesting and roasting agave in conical earthen pits are often shared work, done through tequio, the community's tradition of mutual aid.
