Macurichos Mezcal Joven Tepeztate 750ml

Bright aquamarine hues seem to rise from the glass along with the aroma, full of fresh bell peppers and bright blue flowers. A burst of sweet vegetal notes—more bell pepper, corn kernels, cilantro, and Thai basil—is grounded with a faintly bitter green note, like cucumber skins in an arugula salad. No 100-proof spirit should be called refreshing, but here we are! Raw sawdust, lime zest, and a touch of Sichuan peppercorns trail off into subtle jasmine and delicate floral patterns. This is a Tepeztate with distinct structure; the variety’s benchmark profile is in a playful duel with citrus. It’s hard to imagine a more delightful mezcal to pair with cuisine! 50% ABV
