Tepextate - Amatlán, 2019

Batch: NGG-05

Release date: April 2021

At a glance:

  • Number of 50cl bottles in release: 36
  • ABV: 46.5%

We’ve been visiting and working with Nicholas and his family since 2017, and started to gain appreciation of the issues effecting production in the region.

The increase in demand of the special agave varieties found here has recently seen locals selling under-mature agave to buyers from other states. There’s likely to be a shortage of both Tobalá and Tepextate in the region in the years ahead.

All the more reason to savour this amazing 2019 batch of Tepextate while it lasts. We’re working with the family to support their agave nursery and of course help consumers understand the wonders of fully mature agave produced by the right hands.

House Tasting Notes:

All the wild vegetal notes you might expect from a Tepextate (A. Marmorata), combined with the saline minerality that typifies Nicholas’ spirits, and to some extent the whole community of Amatlán. An initial peppery hit opens up to more fruity tones by the finish. An exceptionally exciting mouthful, while remaining extremely approachable as it’s proofed to a slightly lower than normal 46.5%.
