Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: The nose is an intoxicating bouquet of bright citrus zest, particularly grapefruit and lime, interwoven with earthy undertones of damp soil and sun-baked stone. Hints of fresh green herbs like mint and tarragon emerge, followed by a subtle sweetness reminiscent of ripe pineapple and a whisper of white pepper spice. Palate:
• On the palate, the Tepextate reveals a captivating dance of flavors. Initial notes of juicy tropical fruit, like passionfruit and guava, give way to a distinct minerality that grounds the sweetness. A vibrant acidity keeps the mezcal lively, while herbaceous notes of cilantro and a touch of jalapeo add complexity. The signature Tepextate character shines through with a subtle vegetal sweetness and a lingering hint of anise.
• Finish: The finish is long and elegant, leaving a refreshing coolness and a persistent echo of citrus and earthy minerality. A delicate smokiness emerges at the very end, adding a final layer of intrigue to this truly remarkable mezcal.
• Experience: Savor this Tepextate neat in a copita or small tasting glass to fully appreciate its nuanced flavors and aromas. Allow it to breathe for a few moments to unlock its full potential.

This mezcal is a testament to the artistry of Aureliano Santiago and the captivating spirit of the Tepextate agave.
