Macurichos Tepeztate Mezcal is a 100% Tepeztate (Agave marmorata, matured 18 to 25 years) mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, made by Maestro Mezcalero Rosalino Martinez Sernas. It is bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof; may vary by batch) in a 750ml bottle.

The Story of Macurichos Tepeztate

The agave is cooked in a conical earthen pit oven with pine and mesquite, milled with a horse-drawn stone tahona, fermented in oak vats with well water and distilled twice in copper pot stills. It rested three and a half years in glass. It is a Tepeztate with distinct structure, with the variety’s benchmark profile in a playful duel with citrus, and a delight with cuisine.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Fresh bell peppers and bright blue flowers
• Palate: Sweet vegetal notes of bell pepper, corn kernels, cilantro and Thai basil, grounded by a faintly bitter green note like cucumber skins in an arugula salad

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat from a copita, or pair it with food.
