Brand and creators

Nixta creators Danny the designer and Ivan the producer

The brand, the company, the distillery

Casa Lumbre produces premium, farm-to-bottle Mexican spirits with unique sensorial qualities that appeal to trade and consumers alike. Ivan Saldaña, one of the founding partners of Casa Lumbre and creator of Mezcal Montelobos and Licor Ancho Reyes, is the mastermind behind this liquor. In his PhD in evolutionary biology, Ivan Saldaña focused on Agave plants. This theoretical background combined with years in the practical experimentation in the creation of top selling spirits have made of him an international reference.

Production details

Mexico is the birthplace of corn. Approximately 10,000 years ago corn appeared as the result of the domestication of teosinte. Of the many criollo corn varieties originating in Mexico, only cacahuazintle corn is used to produce Nixta. Cacahuazintle has large, bulky kernels typically used to make pozole, esquites and corn bread. Unlike GMO corn hybrids, this ancestral corn has been passed down for generations and cultivated for its taste instead of its commercial productivity.
