Creador Release 2
The second release from Creador features six ancestral style expressions - milled by hand, clay pot fermented and distilled agave spirits by maestro palenquero José Alberto Pablo from San Bernardo Mixtepec, Oaxaca.
New for the second release - Espadín Capón, Lumbre + Espadín Ensamble, and Tobalá Descansado, as well new batches of Lumbre, Mexicano, and Jabalí.
Each expression started by cooking agave piñas in an underground river rock-lined stone oven (el horno), mashing the cooked piñas by hand with mallets (mazos) in a hollowed tree trunk (canoa), then fermenting in half-buried 90-liter clay pots, and distilling twice in 60-liter clay pots.

Creador Labels
Creador labels are handmade from agave paper by Eric Ramirez in Villa de Etla, Oaxaca. Once the paper is made (a two-week process) Eric prints and his family hand cuts each label - front, back, and top seal. Due to the textured and porous nature of the agave paper, the printing process results in each label being unique. Each set of labels are applied by hand to the bottles.
The six agave spirit expressions by maestro palenquero José Alberto Pablo are packaged in six unique works of art by Austin, TX painter Camille Woods. Working from photos taken in and around José Alberto’s palenque in San Bernardo Mixtepec, Camille captures the images with her unique narrative style, each bottle telling its own story as a result.
