NETA Madrecuixe (Hermogenes Vasquez0 Mezcal (750ml)

La Neta is legit. Literally, it is Mexican slang for "off the hook" or "absolutely great." And this mezcal is aptly named. One of the foremost brands in trying to cultivate strong relationships with their producers, protecting the heritage and culture of the mezcaleros in Oaxaca, and making sure that the people making these incredible products actually get paid! This bottling is made by a small group of mezcaleros known as Grupo Logoche - a co-op made up of 11 men and one woman who have all been making Mezcal their whole lives Miahuatlan. Hermógenes and his family always work in congruence with natural cycles and family tradition. They plant and harvest in accordance to lunar cycles, and their maguey matures alongside their annual crops of corn, beans, and squash. This madrecuixe is one of the families most prized.
