Aguerrido Mezcal
NETA Puntas de Tobaziche – Manuel Aquino García
NETA Puntas de Tobaziche, Manuel Aquino García is a Destilado de Agave from Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. This Puntas expression uses Karwinskii agave milled by hand and distilled in copper. The nose offers peanut shells, dried cardamom, and spring water minerality. Green grape notes lead the palate alongside alcohol heat and poblano pepper spice. Salinity and copper character persist through the mid-palate with mineral spring water. A soft floral fragrance typical of Logoche mezcales emerges toward the finish. This creamy descent balances the earlier intensity with gentle aromatic complexity.

About the Brand
NETA is a colloquial word in Mexico that translates to “the real deal” or “the truth”. Since 2012, the brand has worked closely with several small, family producers and a cooperative of twelve palenqueros from the southern valleys and hills of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. The region has preserved its reputation for producing some of the finest mezcales and agave spirits anywhere in Mexico. The team behind NETA presents a carefully curated selection of extraordinary spirits that would otherwise never be found outside of its place of origin. A note about NETA labels: The total bottle count written on the front label might be less than the total batch size. Batches may be split between Mexico, Europe, and the US; the handwritten bottle count represents the number of bottles imported into a particular country. Learn more about NETA:
