Born in the ancestral lands of Oaxaca, the Mezcal Baltazar Cruz Tepextate is a precious artisanal expression of the Agave Tepextate variety, hand-harvested in the heart of a territory rich in traditions and biodiversity. This spirit is created through the expert process at the Baltazar Cruz palenque, where slow cooking in traditional stone ovens imparts a unique aromatic complexity, revealing balanced smoky and earthy notes.
On the palate, the Mezcal stands out for its full and enveloping body, with hints reminiscent of fresh grass, white pepper, and just a touch of floral notes, supported by a subtle mineral persistence typical of mature and wild agaves grown at high altitude. The mainly steel aging preserves the purity and intensity of the organoleptic characteristics of this rare and precious plant, offering a deep and authentic tasting experience.
Ideal to be enjoyed neat to appreciate every nuance, it pairs magnificently with traditional Mexican dishes such as mole or grilled meats, thus enhancing the harmony between territory, flavor, and culture. A spirit that tells the story and soul of its terroir with great personality.
