Erstwhile Tepeztate 2021 Ancestral Limited Edition Mezcal 750ml

A legacy of the era when Mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca, this batch of Tepeztate crafted by Silverio Garca Luis a 2021 Ancestral Limited Release rescues a Garca family tradition that had been forgotten for more than forty years.
Don Lencho, Silverios father, used a hollowed out quiote (the flowering stalk of agave plants) instead of a copper turbante, to evade the military that would come and seize his distillation equipment by force.
Now you too can partake in this unique mezcal tradition from the Garca family in Rancho Blanco Gil, Oaxaca, available for the first time in the United States in partnership with Erstwhile Mezcal.
