Mal Bien Papalote Capn from Don Refugio Calzada Hernandez was produced in the community of Chilapa de Alvarez, Guerrero. Don Cuco, as hes known to friends, was the president of a local association of mezcaleros and magueyeros (agave farmers) for many years, and has been a leading force behind popular agave and tree reforestation efforts that have helped make agave more plentiful today than in his youth. Though he works almost exclusively with maguey papalote, Don Cucos bodega is home to a diverse collection of joven, capn and glass aged spirits, as well as a few special batches macerated with chumilin (Atizies taxcoensis), a local stink bug considered a seasonal delicacy. The agaves used in batch 0520RC were capned in 2018, giving them two years to increase complexity before being harvested for production.
