Macheé Agave Spirit Society at Seven Grand Austin
About this Event
"In Zapotec, Macheé means 'Loyalty.' For Maestros Leo García and Chepe Elorza (RIP), this is the operating principle of Palenque 'Guixe,' a multi-generational family project located in the Sierra Sur of Oaxaca.
Produced at 1,581 meters above sea level in Miahuatlán de Porfirio Díaz district, Macheé is a pure expression of the hills. The family works exclusively with mature agaves, respecting the plant's natural time. Varieties range from the iconic Tepextate and Cuishe to hyper-local, endemic varietals like the rare Amarillo and Verdito.
The process is unapologetically traditional: cooked in a conical earth oven with oak wood , crushed by a donkey-pulled stone tahona , and fermented naturally in Sabino wood vats using local well water.
The signature of Macheé lies in its distillation. Using a copper alembic with a 'Refrescadera', the Maestros achieve a complete spirit in a single distillation pass. This difficult technique captures the raw essence of the plant. As the family motto says: 'No hay amigo tan leal como el mezcal' (There is no friend as loyal as mezcal)."
