- Publication: Distiller
- Excerpt: Here's the softer side of tepextate, with bursts of purple flowers, orange peel and pomegranate greeting the nose and palate. The back of the throat gets just a tease from jalapeño pepper and a sprinkle of black pepper, which are normally the dominant flavors of this species of agave, taking more of a back seat here.

Made from wild agave strain Tepextate, this expression is mashed and left to ferment with wild yeasts before a two runs of distillation. Let's see how it is.

Nose:
Powerful. Ash, cigarette smoke, green bell pepper and onion. Faint sweetness.

Taste:
Sweet with lots of cream cheese frosting, some vanilla, confectioners sugar. Pepper, ashy and acrid. Faint plastic. Lightly vegetal, almost a faint woody note.

Finish:
Long, rich and sweet. Cream cheese frosting, ash, burning wood and a nice pepper note.
