  • “Caution: 21 Missions Agave”

    Was interested in buying agave from these folks, when asked for a shipping quote on a tote,. Dave DeSanto was short with me from the very first correspondence. I asked for samples of a couple different agaves and he asked for my fedex number. I responded saying we did not have one and asked what it was needed for.  His response was simply “don’t worry about get the agave from another supplier.”

    So if you’re interested in purchasing agave, I’d recommend spending your money elsewhere instead of dealing with this peach of a human.

    I have another source that is great, but any other leads are appreciated.

    I have stories. That guy is a piece of work. 

    If you’re on the west coast you have some options. BSG Distilling is carrying it as well as Breckenridge Tech. Let me know if you need their contact info.

    It is rare, but not unheard of for people to use your Fedex or UPS number to ship you free samples (that way you get billed for the shipping) but that is a weird response.

    Sorry to hear about that experience! As Liberty Call mentioned, we have a great source that we import from Guadalajara, Mexico. Samples are complimentary and we can provide full transparency on our supply chain. Please let me know if there is anything you need.

    I have stories about him as well… lets just say, he’s not the easiest person to deal with and gets quite defensive about the integrety of his product.
