The Majestic Wild: Fuego Y Humo Tepeztate Joven

The Essence of Oaxaca: Fuego Y Humo’s Mezcal Artesanal Tepeztate Joven 750ml captures the untamed spirit of Oaxaca’s wild tepeztate, a magnificent agave that matures over 20-30 years in the rugged terrains of San Dionisio Ocotepec. This artisanal mezcal embodies the rich heritage of mezcal craftsmanship, presenting a unique blend of sweet herbal notes with the green, fresh, and earthy aromatics characteristic of the Agave marmorata. Each bottle is a homage to the land, a tribute to the ancient practices that continue to define the art of mezcal making.

A Symphony of Flavors: Experience a taste revelation with pops of spearmint, jalapeo, green peppers, vanilla ice cream, and cucumber that dance on your palate. This mezcal’s distinctive profile is sweeter and more rounded, setting it apart in a blind tasting with its signature lactic and creamy taste. Crafted with dedication and rested for over a year before bottling, Fuego Y Humo’s Tepeztate Joven is a masterpiece of balance, offering an unforgettable sweet, herbal, and vegetal flavor profile.

Adventures in Harvesting: Behind every bottle of Fuego Y Humo’s Tepeztate Joven lies a story of adventure and respect for nature. Harvesting the wild tepeztate, a process filled with challenges and reverence involves braving the depths of Oaxaca’s backcountry. Jos’s tales from the palenque shed light on the dedication required to bring this extraordinary agave from its perilous natural habitat to the bottle. The ritual of toasting with mezcal and seeking permission from Mother Earth before the harvest underscores the deep connection between the land and this exquisite spirit.
