THE MAESTRO

Paula Aquino Sánchez

Paula Aquino Sánchez is a fourth-generation producer from Logoche, Miahuatlán de Porfirio Díaz, Oaxaca, coming from a family deeply rooted in agave spirit production on both sides. Her grandmother, Antonia, was a significant influence in her life, inspiring Paula to work in the palenque. She began working in the agave fields at just eleven years old and distilled her first batch by the age of fourteen. She has continued to honor her family's agave spirit heritage while crafting her unique spirits.

THE BATCH

This small batch of Madrecuixe (Agave karwinskii) came from wild maguey grown in two plots, Zagala and Piedra Lisa, both home to native trees and shrubs that are part of a thriving local ecosystem. The maguey was cooked for five days in a traditional stone and earth pit oven, then cut by hand with a machete and brought to a finer consistency with a mechanical shredder. It was open-air fermented in wooden vats using wild yeast and artesian well water, then double distilled in a copper pot still, resulting in a spirit that feels clean, expressive, and rooted in wild terroir.
