Rayo Seco Cachetón Agave Spirit

Rayo Seco Cachetón Agave Spirit

Rayo Seco Cachetón (Agave convallis) is produced by maestro Artemio Correa in Coatepec, Puebla. The agaves are roasted in a pit oven, milled by horse-drawn tahona, fermented with wild yeasts in spring water, and double distilled in a copper almebic still.

The maguey Cachetón is considered a cousin of what would be called maguey Jabali further south in Oaxaca. This rare varietal is from the arid southern region of Puebla near a protected cactus biosphere and former lake bed littered with pre-historic fossils, creating a distinctive terrior for this hard-to-harvest agave. Cacheton is also notorious for its high level of saponins, which produce hard-to-handle foam during the fermentation and distillation process (similar to maguey Jabali).
