Tepeztate is a fairly rare variety of agave with a truly unique flavor that grows at very high elevations in rocky soil. El Jolgorio makes tiny batches of mezcals from fully mature plants- inlcuding this 25+ year old Tepeztate that gets crushed by a horse-drawn mill fermented naturally and then cooked in a traditional ‘horno’. Distilled in copper pot stills then bottled at ~48% depending on the batch. Aromatic bright herbal and a bit floral really beautiful mezcal.
