Description
Introducing El Mero Mero Tepextate, a premium mezcal made with wild agave Tepextate that takes 20-22 years to reach maturity. This rare and exclusive mezcal is made using traditional methods. The agave is crushed by tahona, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and distilled in copper, producing a smooth and refined taste.
The rough conditions in the region where the agave grows contribute to its high sugar content, which can translate to differences in flavor and profile. Typical batches of El Mero Mero Tepextate range from 125-200 bottles, making it a rare and highly sought-after mezcal.
El Mero Mero is a brand deeply committed to quality and sustainability. Mezcalero Justino Garcia Cruz oversees all production, and the brand’s bottle label is designed by Carlos Zerpa, one of the most important Latin American contemporary artists. The surrounding mezcaleros are also starting to cultivate agave Tobala and Tepextate, promoting more sustainable production practices.
