El Mero Mero 100% Tepeztate Mezcal

Lot: 36.  Coming  from San Dionisio, Ocotepec, Oaxaca and is made from 100% Tepextate Agave that takes over 20 years to mature, making its production extremely limited. It has vegetable flavors with lingering notes of white pepper and buttered popcorn, leaving an umami and oily impression. Designed for those with a truly discerning palate, but can be enjoyed by anyone who desires an unforgettable mezcal experience. Mezcal Reviews  48% ABV

El Mero Mero considers itself "The Mezcalero's Mezcal" and began operations in 2011. All production is overseen by mezcalero Justino Garcia Cruz. The bottle label is designed by Carlos Zerpa, one of the most important Latin American contemporary artists. Senor Cruz and the surrounding mezcaleros are starting to slowly and carefully cultivate agave Tobala and Tepextate in order to develop more sustainable production practices.
