Juerte Destilado de Pulque

Juerte Destilado de Pulque is made by fermenting the aguamiel (agave sap) of the maguey pulquero (agave Salmiana) and then distilling it. When the Salmiana reaches maturity, a large hole is carved into the top of the piña. The plant’s natural reaction is to secrete its aguamiel into the hole. Once the aguamiel is removed, the inside of the hole is scraped with a metal scraper to agitate the plant into secreting more aguamiel. An agave can produce up to 10 liters of aguamiel per day. The aguamiel is then fermented for about a week, with a small amount of pulque madre (pulque left over from a previous batch) to kick off fermentation. Once fermented, the aguemiel is single distilled in a stainless steel still.

Distillery Information

Juerte Destilado de Pulque is produced by Gerónimo Rosainz. The story goes that he was told about destilado de pulque by his grandmother, but it wasn't until he married a chemical engineer in the mid-90s that he actually began the process of learning how to produce it himself. His wife helped him procure the necessary equipment, and together they decided to re-initiate this centuries-old tradition and began selling their destilado de pulque in their village in northeast Tlaxcala.
