Tepextate is a wild maguey species recognized for its peppery, herbaceous qualities. Gracias a Dios produces this mezcal using ancestral techniques preserved across four generations, currently under the direction of mezcalero Oscar Hernández Santiago. The spirit is double-distilled and bottled without any subsequent barrel maturation.

The nose is sweet and vegetal. For the taste, it's less vegetal but has strong notes of smoke and leather. After a few sips, the leather is replaced by some of the sweetness from the nose, along with some earthiness. Very enjoyable. I will have to try their other expressions at some point.
