Koch Mezcal Joven Tepextate is made from wild tepextate agaves, which take about 15 years to mature. This expression is crafted by Master Mezcalero Pedro Hernández in San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca, Mexico.
It displays flavors of herbs, lemon, and pineapple--all charred. That said, the smoke isn’t overpowering and the end result is beautifully calming and sublime.
