Mezonte Mezcal Tepe

Mezonte Tepe is produced by a native Mexican from the Tepehuano's community at the border of Jalisco, Nayarit and Durango who follows the tradition of developing this spirit primarily for ritual purposes. This reclusive community insists on isolation from western culture ​and we value their choices to remain anonymous.

This batch will feature maguey Cenizo (A. bovicornuta). Underground ovens with local firewood are used to cook the agave. Then, is crushed with wooden mallets and then fermented with springwater in compacted dirt and volcanic rock pits. Finally it is distilled in clay pots. 

A very sweet floral, even chocolatey with a touch of mineral from the deep roots of the agave in search of water. Fresh on the palate with great intensity.
