Harvesting A Gigantic 1100+ Pound Agave! 😲

Check out the 1100+ pound agave that Del Maguey Mezcal harvested recently! We can’t wait for this to end up in our bottle of Mezcal and eventually a cocktail! 😲👍

This is me when they tell me there’s a drought on tequila 😩😩😩😩

[@angelor9211]

7 years to cultivate a regular seedling with constant watering and after that the soil can't grow anything else for a few years That's why Tequila is hard obtain, and now that it's popular more people are farming but the soil won't be useable

[@mondaybores1547]

you don't wanna sword fight this guy.

[@miguelangelortizvidal3006]

Machete amigo 😉 (the sword)

[@luiseldewashington1768]

One punch 🤛 & you’ll wake up in a few days lol i remember my uncles fighting n man they want straight for others jaw 😂

[@swiggarebel]

Then can get at least a 100 bottles of tequila from that giant plant if a normal sized 8 year one yields 5 bottle per plant

[@jeremybonilla1368]

More than 100. An Agave can yield 12 bottles basically a case. My grandparents run an agave field, so I’ve been around the industry for a few years.

[@nyakwarObat]

F tequila, we want the syrup/nectar!! 😁

[@701delbronx8]

Way more than that

[@miguelvasquez8788]

This type of agave is maybe for mezcal, not tequila 😊

[@nyakwarObat]

[@christnhvv256]

In which part of Mexico is it?

[@Omarion_thegreat]

I believe its Jalisco

[@Ninimara952]

Jalisco is the only state known to produce quality agave due to the special and rare type of soil that allows agave to flourish.. I am from jalisco so I ve seen agave fields all over the state as long and wide as the eye can see..

[@user-dk3iw8bl1k]

​@@Ninimara952 Esto es en Oaxaca, este tipo de agave es para el mezcal espadin.

[@Ninimara952]

@@user-dk3iw8bl1k orale.. no sabia que también sembraban agave en oaxaca tambien.. yo soy de jalisco y he mirado que por todo jalisco hay sembradios de agave y pensaba que solo en jalisco se daba buena calidad de agave

Maguey is Agave

[@jonathanalexisgordillo2887]

La herramienta especial para corte de agave es la coa, a la cual se afila para cortes precisos y es menos cansado que usar el machete...de cualquier forma el trabajo de campo siempre es duro.

[@rickcolmillo7160]

La coa no funciona con el maguey espadin, la usan solo para cortar el tallo y le golpean con el marro porque es muy duro
