CUISH 2012 TEPEZTATE - ESTEBAN JARQUIN | 500 ML

This very special expression of Maguey Tepeztate (Agave marmoratha) was rested in glass for 10 years is probably one of our favourite new products! The maguey tepeztate usually takes around 25 years to mature which gives the plant plenty of time to develop its characteristic aromas and flavours. The unique minerality from the soil along with an herbal greenness and sweet overtones is immediately recognisable in this mezcal. The hand crushing technique adds an extra layer of complexity and a fine butter finish. This batch was rested in glass for 10 years before bottling, adding an extra smoothness to the palate.

Aromas of this production: Pure herbal and mineral notes. A true delicate expression of the uniqueness of the plant notes combined with the pass of time as it was well rested since 2012. Delicate and delicious!

Flavours of this production: Feels fresh, buttery, lots of creamy soft notes of minerals feels very smooth and with a clean sweet finish.
