The 2026 shipment from Sola de Vega, Oaxaca has arrived in the Netherlands. After eight months across highland palenques — maestros working across the microregions surrounding Sola de Vega — 100 bottles of Excomulgado, 500 bottles of Chingón Espadín, and 36 twenty-litre jerrycans of Chingón are in stock and available to the European trade.
These are destilados de agave — not certified mezcal, but produced by the same hands, in the same valleys, using the same methods that have defined agave distillation in Oaxaca for generations. For buyers building a serious agave programme alongside mezcal, this is where the range extends.
Four new agave distillates for the Excomulgado range
This shipment introduces four expressions never before in the Excomulgado portfolio:
Raicilla — a sister category to mezcal from the western state of Jalisco. Distilled from agaves that cannot legally be called mezcal but have been produced the same way for centuries. Smoke-light, herbal, structural. A natural next step for accounts already pouring mezcal.
Jabalí — one of the most difficult agave varieties in Oaxaca to work with. Foams violently in fermentation, demands experience and patience. Produced by Ale Rendón. For accounts that know what they’re asking for.
Penca Verde — a Valentín Celis production from Totomachapam. Vegetal, almost saline, with the green-pepper sharpness the name suggests.
Chino Verde — fleshy, mineral, long. A small-batch standout from this run.
All four are classified as destilado de agave and bottled by Disha López, son of Manuel Montaño.
Restocks: the expressions worth knowing about
The shipment also brings back the agave distillates our accounts move fastest: Tobalá (12 years, Engracia Altamirano), Coyote and Barril (Alberto Santos), Arroqueño and Mexicano (Sergio Reyes Argüelles), and three distinct Tepeztate lots — Cobre, Barro, and a Cobre/Barro blend — each fermented and distilled to show different facets of the same wild agave. Madre Cuishe is also back in stock.
Chingón: new batch, same maestra
The new Chingón jerrycans and bottles come from lot MM-2510, distilled by Engracia Altamirano — the same maestra who produces our Excomulgado Tobalá. One producer, full spectrum: from the workhorse Espadín that pours behind more than thirty venues across Europe to the twelve-year Tobalá that anchors fine-dining menus in the Netherlands and beyond.
A single-origin, named-maestro Espadín. Built for the bar.
“Fifteen SKUs from seven maestros, one bottler, one region. No conglomerate. No category compromise. This is what a portfolio looks like when you spend a decade in the same valley.”
Available to on-trade accounts in the Netherlands and across Europe now. Excomulgado allocations open to existing curator-tier accounts first. New listings reviewed on a case-by-case basis under our active scarcity cap.
