The agave was roasted for five days in a conical earthen oven with guamuchil and mesquite, crushed with machete and tahona, and fermented naturally for nine days in 1,200-liter sabino wood vats with stream water. Luis Juarez distilled it once, on February 24, 2025, in a 300-liter copper pot still fitted with a refrescadera, producing 120 liters — of which 85 liters rested a full year in glass before bottling on September 25, 2026.
