More information about Mezcalosfera Tepextate Mezcal
For this mezcal, the agaves are juiced in the traditional way using a tahona (stone mill). Like the other Mezcalosfera mezcals, they are then roasted with mezquit and encino wood before being fermented for 6 days and then distilled twice.
The Tepextate is bottled in a total of just 80 liters and comes from master mezcal distiller Job Cortes.
This mezcal has an aroma of paprika, peppers and jalapenos. On the palate, there is plenty of pepper, some burnt ash, roasted peppers and black pepper. There are also light notes of green paprika.
About the Tepeztate agave variety:
Tepeztate is an agave that belongs to the Marmorata agave family and has a very distinctive and irregular leaf structure. In the wild, Tepeztate often takes up to 25 years to mature. It also requires a lot of care in order to cultivate it sustainably and secure its supply for the future. Interestingly, it thrives best on steep rocky cliffs.
Tepeztate also has several sub-varieties such as Pichomel (also known as Pichorra or Pizorra, depending on the region).
