Because the metallic paint only reveals itself after the clay is fired, the artisans in Santa María Canchesdá effectively paint it blind, and each finished decanter is unique.

The agave is slow-cooked in stone\/clay ovens, milled, fermented, and double-distilled in copper pot stills, then rested about 25 months — just over two years — in casks that previously held American whiskey, which give it its intense amber color and oak-and-vanilla character. The distillery's regulatory mark (NOM) is 1595 (current Casa Tradición) or 1416 (older Productos Finos de Agave) depending on production date — confirm against the bottle.
