MDM Arroqueno de Teodomiro Santiago Hernandez Agave Spirit 100pf 750ml
MDM Arroqueno de Teodomiro Santiago Hernandez Agave Spirit 100pf 750ml
Arroqueño is a large agave native to the Oaxaca Central Valley. Some consider Arroqueño to be the wild forbearer of Espadin (Agave angustifolia), to which it is genetically related and visually resembles.
Unlike Espadin, Arroqueño takes much longer to mature. Arroqueño agaves growing and maturing in the wild commonly take 18-25 years to mature.
Arroqueño is typically a wild agave, but can be partially cultivated at the early stages of its life. For example, we have met producers who plant and raise Arroqueño seedlings in a greenhouse, and transfer the seedlings to nearby hills when they are about a year old.
Arroqueño’s popularity in mezcal form has led to concerns about sustainability in recent years. As a result, substantial effort has been put into nursing Arroqueño growth for future generations of producers.
