Quiquiriqui Wild Tepeztate Mezcal

Quiquiriqui Wild Tepeztate Mezcal is an exceptional and highly sought-after spirit, distilled from the wild-harvested *Agave tepeztate* (Marmorata). This magnificent agave takes up to 35 years to reach maturity in the rocky, high-altitude terrain of Oaxaca, contributing to its rare and concentrated flavor profile. The mezcal is traditionally roasted in underground pit ovens, crushed by tahona, and double-distilled in copper pot stills, lending it a vibrant and complex character. Expect an intense nose with strong aromas of green bell pepper, wet earth, and mineral salinity. The palate is equally bold, delivering distinct notes of sweet chili, tropical fruit, and a long, savory, smoky finish, making it a true connoisseur's mezcal best enjoyed neat.
