Tepextate, which looks like a prehistoric plant, can take up to 30 years to mature. This bottling is produced by Master Mezcalier Enrique Jimenez. It is double-distilled after roasting for five days in a pit-roast fueled by black oak. It is undiluted and bottled at 97.6 proof.
Fidencio Tepextate Mezcal Tasting Notes
Nose: Aromatically it is fresh and herbal and speaks of the earth with notes of mastic, frankincense and apple peel which are mirrored exactly on the palate.
Palate: The earthy, rustic flavor profile of this mezcal speaks of the tepextate’s long life. Much like a chicken, the older they get the less tender and supple they are. But they begin to take on deeper and more intense flavors.
Finish: The finish is long and dry.
