Grulani Tepeztate

Flavors of wood, leather, and a dry finish. Earthy and intensely vegetal. Fruity on the nose. A unique mezcal that highlights the complexity of its category.

Tepeztate's extended period to reach maturation – up to 35 years – together with its excellent adaptation to extreme terrain, translates into finely settled sugars that produce its sweet, spicy, earthy, and intensely vegetal flavor profile. To create a single bottle of Tepeztate, 25 kg of agave is needed. Depending on whether it’s the rainy or dry season, Tepeztate ferments for between 4 and 6 days in pine wood vats and is subsequently distilled twice in a copper still. Through the first distillation, or primary distillation, the distillate can reach 30% ABV.
