The Cortés family has been producing mezcal—known as mazhcail in Zapotec—for over 200 years, originally crafting it for the ceremonies and celebrations of their family and community. Their production includes an exclusive selection, carefully preserved in the "El Cementerio" cellar, where it matures in glass bottles. This Tepeztate, bottled at 54.4% ABV, offers smooth vegetal and earthy notes, balanced by a touch of sweetness and spice. Commonly compared to bell pepper and green banana, with hints of citrus, it also reveals subtle mineral and light smoky undertones, making it a truly distinctive and refined expression.
