Tepanal Still Strength 'Ensamble' Ancestral
Tepanal Still Strength ‘Ensamble’ Ancestral hails from Santa Maria Sola de Vega in Oaxaca, crafted under the meticulous expertise of Mezcalero Rafael G. Garcia Aragon. This unique mezcal embodies the essence of Oaxacan terroir with a remarkable blend of four agave varieties: Tobala, Arroqueño, Espadín, and Coyote. Using ancestral methods, each step—from hand maceration to fermentation in wooden vats—reflects a dedication to authenticity. The spirit is double-distilled in clay pots, a traditional technique that enhances its depth and preserves the agaves' natural complexity.
With a 75.1% ABV, Tepanal ‘Ensamble’ unveils vibrant and layered tasting notes. Expect a profound earthiness complemented by floral nuances, punctuated by a gentle smokiness that is characteristic of Oaxacan mezcal. This joven mezcal combines the rich, herbal tones of Tobala and Arroqueño with the balanced depth of Espadín and the boldness of Coyote, resulting in a unique flavor profile that is both rugged and refined, yet balanced in its intensity.
This limited release of only 312 bottles invites enthusiasts to experience the spirit in its raw, undiluted form—best enjoyed neat to savor its intricate layers and pay homage to its ancestral roots. For those drawn to mezcal's rich heritage and robust flavors, Tepanal ‘Ensamble’ is an unforgettable journey into the heart of Oaxaca's agave tradition.
