Description

• Mezcal produced in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
• Maestro Mezcalero Rosalino Martinez Sernas
• Made from 100% Tepeztate (Agave marmorata) matured between 18–25 years
• Cooked in conical earthen pit oven using pine and mesquite wood
• Milled using traditional horse-drawn stone tahona
• Fermented in Encino oak vats (tinas) using proprietary well water
• Distilled twice using copper pot stills
• Rested three and a half years in glass
• Bright aquamarine hues rise from the glass with an aroma of fresh bell peppers and bright blue flowers; a burst of sweet vegetal notes—more bell pepper, corn kernels, cilantro, and Thai basil—is grounded with a faintly bitter green note, like cucumber skins in an arugula salad
• 50% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

This is a Tepeztate with distinct structure; the variety’s benchmark profile is in a playful duel with citrus. It’s hard to imagine a more delightful mezcal to pair with cuisine!
