In March of 2020, Primitivo selected a mix of maguey quiotudo and en guía to make this classic miahuateco blend of 55% cultivated Madrecuixe and 45% wild Bicuixe.

Harvested from rich tierra colorada and tierra negra lands, this batch is a testament to the skill of the maker and quite archetypical of the flavors of Logoche – reflecting the lands, native yeasts, and the particularities of two different endemic types of Agave karwinskii. Tivo and his cousins cooked the 25 piñas of Madrecuixe and 60 piñas of Bicuixe with mesquite and guamuchil wood for five days, lining them around the very top and edges of the oven, as to spare these more delicated magueyes from the brute heat of the rocks at the bottom of the horno.

Unearthed, the caramelized maguey was rested in Montezuma cypress for four days before being meeting the machete and shredder. The maestro let the dry fermenting fibers sit for 48 hours before well water was added. The guarape fermented for an additional nine days before Primitivo deemed the mix ready for distillation. Twice distilled under low heat, Primitivo made careful cuts during the refining round that enabled him to compose a total of 150L at 45% alc. with a blend of the heads, hearts, and a touch of high ABV shishe.
