About this bottle

OAX Original Mezcales are made exclusively with wild, single-origin agave, with the brand's mission being the "search for beauty." That ethos is also seen in the bottle itself, a unique and artistic opaque ceramic. The Tepeztate release, featuring an agave variety which takes approximately 25 years to come to maturity, is in a pink bottle, with roughly 900 available. The agave is slow-cooked with oak and mesquite, stone-ground by horse, and fermented with wild yeast before double distillation. This batch was made by mezcalero Enrique Hernandez Zenea in San Luis Del Rio, Oaxaca.

It's not a Tequila, it's a wild agave mezcal artesanal. Of the three OAX currently available, Tepeztate is my favorite. It's full of flavor, I'm enjoying every sip.
