Distiller Notes
Herbaceous aromas, with a touch of wet stone on the nose, accompanied by grapefruit zest, orange flower and pine. Fresh florals, white pepper and minerals are highlighted on the palate with prominent notes of spice on the finish. The Tepeztate, a subspecies of the Marmorata Family of agave, has a very distinct, erratic leaf structure and flourishes best on the sides of steep, rocky cliffs. The Tepeztate produces beautiful quiotes at the end of life which flower a rich yellow before turning to seed. This agave offers a powerful, unique aroma dominated by floral characteristics.

Para todo mal, Mezcal, y para todo bien, también.
"For everything bad, Mezcal, and for everything good as well." Most often consumed straight or with salt, chilis and an orange, lemon, or lime, Mezcal is an agave-based spirit whose production methods vary widely depending on the region, traditions and preferences of the producer. Rather than boiling or steaming the agave, which is done in Tequila production, Mezcal is made by cooking the agave in wood-fired pits before fermentation. Consequently, Mezcal is often characterized by smoky nuances, which are a product of this alternative production method.
