Wahaka Joven Tepeztate

Because it spends the first 25 to 30 years of its life basking in the sun and taking in the nutrients of the Oaxacan highlands, mature tepeztate maguey can make for some particularly punchy mezcales. Maestro Beto smoothes out those extreme flavors by triple-distilling our wild-grown Joven Tepeztate, giving its earthy, pungent fragrance a welcome subtle touch. The first sip is pleasantly fruity, with an almost sake-like yeastiness and a tannic quality that turns sweet and spicy through the finish. Limited to 480 bottles, this refined tepeztate is unlike any other. Limited to 480 bottle.
