Tepanal Mexicano/Espadin
$144.00
this ensamble brings together wild Agave Mexicano (Agave rhodacantha) and cultivated Agave Espadín (Agave angustifolia). Pit-roasted over indigenous hardwood and river rocks, hand-crushed using wooden mallets (tahona de mano), and clay-pot distilled with ambient yeasts, it captures the raw essence of artisanal spirit production. The result is an expressive agave spirit that balances deep earthiness with vibrant botanical complexity.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: Opens with notes of roasted agave nectar, crushed slate, and sweet woodsmoke. As it opens in the glass, layered aromas of wild herbs, pine resin, and soft lemon peel emerge.
- Palate: Full-bodied and textured on the entry. Initial flavors of baked agave, damp earth, and roasted poblano give way to bright notes of green apple, mint, and white pepper. The clay-pot distillation contributes a distinctive velvety minerality throughout.
- Finish: Long, warming, and clean. Residual agave sweetness lingers alongside subtle accents of ash, citrus zest, and dried botanical herbs.
