Description

On rocky cliffs and steep hillsides, Tepeztate grows in demanding terrain. Bozal's Tepeztate Single Maguey centers this agave and its connection to the landscapes of Oaxaca and Guerrero. Sought out by local mezcaleros, the plant gives the makers a distinct starting point. Its herbal and mineral character provides a thread to follow through the glass.

Herbaceous aromas meet wet stone on the nose. Grapefruit zest, orange flower, and pine add citrus, floral, and woodland notes. Fresh florals carry onto the palate, joined by a subtle touch of white pepper. Minerals and spice mark the finish, bringing another dimension after the aromatic opening.

Pour neat and gently swirl the glass before sipping. Take time with the aromas, then follow the transition from citrus and flowers to pepper and minerals.
