You step out of the van into a sun-warmed field of blue agave—rows of spiky leaves tilt toward the sky like a held breath—and the scent of cooked piñas lingers on the breeze. The guide points toward a low, whitewashed distillery where copper stills glint inside, and the day of tasting, technique, and local flavors begins.
