"The agave is a plant native to Mexico, grown in the fields and hillsides in arid, dry soil. Legend has it that a lightning bolt struck the agave plant, cooking and opening it, releasing its liquid within. For this reason, many call this liquid the ‘elixir of the gods’. Counting with farms in Oaxaca as well as the northern state of Tamaulipas, where espadín finds the best conditions to develop its fullest flavor."
