Mezcal Los Siete Misterios Ensamble Tepeztate (44%)

A mezcal blend of Agave Angustifolia (Espadín) and wild Agave Marmorata (Tepeztate), produced by Los Siete Misterios. The Tepeztate grows on steep, rocky mountain slopes in Oaxaca and can take up to 25 years to mature. After roasting in an underground earth oven, it is distilled in a copper pot still. The Ensamble line returns to a less standardised way of making mezcal. The nose shows fresh oregano, lemongrass and white flowers. The palate brings peach, passion fruit and sweet citrus with a buttery roundness, a rich and soft mouthfeel, and a long finish with a surprisingly fresh peppermint note.
