This expression is made from wild Tobalá agave, a slow-growing, non-cultivated variety prized for its concentrated, complex character compared to farmed espadín. Hand-distilled in copper stills at 94 proof, it carries an intense, aromatic profile with the fruit and herbal notes typical of Tobalá alongside Banhez's signature smoke.

This joven expression is made from jabalí, a wild agave that grows untended on hillsides and takes considerably longer to mature than cultivated espadin, giving it a more intense, harder-to-source character. The agave is roasted in a traditional earthen pit, crushed, fermented in wood or stone tanks, and distilled on-site by the palenquero, then bottled unaged.

Like the rest of the Banhez range, it's roasted in an earthen pit, crushed, fermented, and distilled by hand in small batches at the palenque, then bottled without any aging. The maguey mexicano tends to produce a mezcal with a fruitier, slightly sweeter profile than more herbal wild varieties, while still carrying the earthy smoke the category is known for.
