Taste
Koch El Mezcal Artesanal Joven Maguey Tepeztate De San Baltazar Guelavila offers a vivid tapestry of flavors that captivates the palate from the first sip. The mezcal presents a rich, earthy base, characterized by its unique maguey tepeztate, which imparts a robust and slightly herbaceous quality. Notes of ripe stone fruit and a hint of citrus zest emerge, balanced by a subtle smokiness that lingers gracefully. The mouthfeel is both silky and vibrant, making it an extraordinary expression of artisanal craftsmanship, perfect for sipping neat or in creative cocktails.

History
Koch El Mezcal Artesanal Joven Maguey Tepeztate De San Baltazar Guelavila is one of Mexico's most sought-after brands. We've waited for years for this special brand to arrive and now that it's finally here it's selling out as quickly as we can get it. Koch El Mezcal is headed by Carlos Moreno, whose family is committed to sustainable cultivation and traditional methodology. They specialize in Wild Agave cultivation and operate two palenques, which distill in distinctly different styles. This Tepeztate comes from the village of San Baltazar Guelavila. Master Mescalero Pedro Hernandez roasts the 15-year-old pinas in traditional conical earthen ovens before crushing on the donkey-driven molino de piedra. Fermentation is open vat in pine and oak before double copper pot distillation. Stilled to proof and bottled at 94 proof, this Tepeztate shows incredible freshness and intensity. The Agave Marmorata (Tepeztate) reveals powerful fresh herbs and bittersweet roots, with ripe and sweet smoke on the palate, complemented by an earthy floral component that builds to a sweet herbal finish. This mezcal is truly a grand example of its special agave, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and heritage behind its creation.
