Palomas Mensajeras Mexicano is made with Agave rhodacantha in the lake-side community of Oponguio, Michoacn. This is a product of maestro vinatero Don Miguel Perez Resendiz and his sons Miguel (jr) and Melltn. Maguey Mexicano is not endemic to Michoacn. Don Miguel collected Agave rhodacantha (maguey Mexicano) seeds on a trip to Oaxaca a few decades ago. He planted the seeds and the family collected additional seeds from those plants once those original agave reached maturity. The family now has a sustainable supply of Agave rhodacantha growing on their land in Michoacn. The agaves are cooked in an underground pit oven and milled by a mechanical shredder that the family made from a converted 1978 Dotson car engine. The agaves are then fermented with open air wild yeasts in earthen pits that are lined with oak planks. Finally the agave is distilled in a Tarascan (aka Filipino) still.
