This 188-liter batch of agave Pizorra (a. marmorata) was distilled by maestro mezcalero Delfino Tobón Mejía in his hometown of San Pablo Ameyaltepec, Puebla. Along with friends and family members, Delfino wild-harvested these massive, white-striped agaves in the outskirts of his hometown of Ameyaltepec, which roughly translates to "the mountain where water is born" in Nahuatl. After the harvest, he roasted the agave with Clahuitole firewood in an underground conical pit over four days. He then milled the cooked agave with a mechanical shredder and allowed them to ferment naturally with spring water for about a week. Once fermentation was complete, he distilled the mash and tepache once in a custom-made hybrid 3-plated copper still. Distilled in September 2022 and proofed with heads, hearts and "holanda" by Delfino. Bottled August 2024.

"La Coleccion Mixteca" is a curated selection of small-batch agave spirits crafted in the rustic distilleries of the mountainous Mixteca region of Oaxaca and Puebla. Each bottling explores the maestro mezcalero's interpretation of subjecting agave endemic to the region to peculiar production methods and styles that have largely fallen out of favor in modern times. A significant portion of sales from this collection will be used for Palenque improvement projects. Series 2025
