"There’s a reason for the higher price tag on this mezcal: tepeztate is a wild agave variety that can grow for up to 30+ years before it is ready to harvest. Trust me, it’ll be worth every penny."
Serve
There's a bright candied fruit nose of sweet banana. The sweetness carries into the palate with notes of passion fruit and marzipan. Del Maguey Wild Tepextate Mezcal Blanco is delicious sipped neat or in a slightly smoked and fruity Paloma.
Process
Tepextate has broad, twisted leaves about ten inches wide and grows at high altitude, emerging almost vertically out of rocks in the sides of mountains. After roasting for 15 days and a week long fermentation - it is distilled in copper stills.
