Among their wide diversity of cultivated agave, Miguel and Macurio Partida focus heavily on two subvarieties at the heart of their family taberna: Brocha (Agave angustifolia) and Ixtero Amarillo (Agave rhodacantha). This ensamble aptly represents the balance of these two species and serves as a summarization of the family’s unique production of historical mezcal in Jalisco.
