Lamata Lechuguilla Sonora is produced by Maestro Vinatero Martín Yépiz in Alamo, Sonora using Lechuguilla (Agave bovicornuta). Martín is the brother of the owner of the cattle ranch where this spirit is made. Martín and Ramón Almada have worked together in the same vinata for many years but Martín has been taking the lead on batches as time has passed. Most of the producers in the area are cattle ranchers and distill Bacanora and Lechuguilla as secondary activities. The agaves are cooked in an underground oven, mashed with an axe in a wood canoe, and naturally fermented with added spring water. The result is distilled twice in stainless steel with the final product being adjusted with heads and tails.
