Morro Mezcal Ensamble Espadin & Tepeztate (75cl, 44%)

An ensamble mezcal made from cultivated, estate-grown Espadín and wild Tepeztate agave, distilled to 44% ABV in a 750ml bottle with no water added. It comes from a single palenque in El Gramal, Yautepec, Oaxaca, and is unaged. The Espadín brings an earthy backbone, while the wild Tepeztate adds floral lift. Production includes mesquite and quebracho earthen-oven cooking, axe and wood-chipper grinding, open-air pine-vat fermentation with spring water, and double distillation in 350L copper stills. The nose brings buttery pistachio and fresh cucumber over earthy Espadín depth, followed by wild floral Tepeztate character lifting the mid-palate, and a long, bone-dry finish.
