Aguerrido Mezcal
Ióntki Anapu Inaequidens
Ióntki Anapu Inaequidens is a Joven Destilado de Agave from Michoacán. Miguel Ortiz Villagomez produces this spirit in Cañada del Agua. He uses hand-milled Inaequidens agave aged seven to eight years in copper stills. The distillation results in a fifty percent alcohol by volume spirit with distinct character. The aroma shows bubblegum, sweet agave, and pungent funk with wet stones on the nose. Palate notes include explosive bubble gum and nutty almond qualities that linger pleasantly. A lingering pine note closes the finish with earthy tones for balance.

Ióntki Anapu Mezcal
About the Brand
Ióntki Anapu Mezcal is a brand from mezcalero Miguel Ortiz Villagomez and Emiliano Raya Aguiar. Emiliano is a PhD professor of 20th-century Mexican history in Morelia, the capital city of Michoacán. His specialization focuses on the history and relationship between the indigenous tribes and the European descendants in the central Mexico region. In partnership with Miguel Ortiz Villagomez, Emiliano runs the Juchari Icheriicha Cooperative, which includes their brand Ióntki Anapu, which means “very old,” in recognition of the ancient drink. Both the name of the collective and the mezcal brand are in the native Purépecha language of this region. As Emiliano says, “the philosophy of the Cooperative is to rescue the historical memory of popular Mexican traditions. We believe that one way to do it is through mezcal, a drink that synthesizes the cultural essence of the Mexican people as it is the result of cultural miscegenation.” Read about our trip to visit with Miguel and Emiliano in our blog The Ejidos of Mexico and Miguel Ortiz Villagomez
