Thirty-Five Years in the Making
Tepeztate is mezcal's great patience test — a wild agave that grows for decades before reaching maturity, and it shows in the glass. Yuu Baal bottles it as a joven at a full 48% so nothing about that long wild maturation gets muted. Shop more Yuu Baal or browse the mezcal range.
Tasting Notes
Retailer descriptions of this expression note herbal sweetness with wild-plant and wildflower aromatics over cooked mature maguey — a Tepeztate that leans herbal and floral rather than fiery. Expect a long, savory finish at 96 proof.
How to Enjoy
Neat, in a copita or rocks glass, so the wild aromatics come through. This is a conversation pour — serve it to anyone who thinks they've tried everything in mezcal.
