Introducing Espina Negra Tepeztate Mezcal, a testament to the ancient artistry of mezcal production, exclusively curated by Folsom Wine & Spirits. Handcrafted deep in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico, this exceptional spirit embodies centuries of tradition and the skilled craftsmanship of master mezcaleros.

Derived from the wild Tepeztate agave, revered for its robust and earthy flavor profile, Espina Negra Tepeztate Mezcal offers a journey into the rugged landscapes where agave thrives. Each sip unveils a complex interplay of smoky, vegetal notes intertwined with hints of minerality, a true reflection of its terroir and meticulous production process.

The journey of Espina Negra Tepeztate Mezcal begins with the careful selection of mature Tepeztate agaves, which can take up to 25 years to reach full maturity. Harvested by hand, these wild plants are roasted in earthen pits, imparting a distinctive smokiness that defines the mezcal's character. Once cooked, the agaves are crushed using a tahona stone wheel, extracting the sweet juices that will eventually ferment and transform into mezcal.

Fermented naturally with wild yeasts and distilled in small batches using traditional copper pot stills, Espina Negra Tepeztate Mezcal undergoes a meticulous aging process that enhances its depth and complexity. The result is a spirit that captures the essence of its origins, offering connoisseurs a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Oaxaca.
