Available for In-Store Pickup, Local Delivery (San Francisco) & California Shipping Only.

The El Mero Mero Tepextate Mezcal is made with agave Tepextate in the town of San Dionisio, Ocotepec, Oaxaca. Few mezcals originate from this region. With very little rainfall, the agave grows low to the ground in order to absorb as much water as possible. Just like grapes, this stresses the plants out, creating more sugar, and in turn more flavor. The limestone rich soil has lots of minerals and helps the agave retain water in the arid climate. The proofing of this spirit uses no water, only the heads and tails of the distillate.

Maestra Mezcalera: Hidelberta Martínez Hipólito. Made with wild agave Tepextate that take 20–22 years to reach maturity. The agave used in this mezcal were crushed by tahona, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and distilled in copper.

El Mero Mero Tepextate offers a bold yet smooth flavor profile. Its taste is characterized by earthy tones with hints of smokiness, accompanied by subtle notes of citrus and herbs. The aroma captivates with its complex blend of roasted agave, floral undertones, and a touch of spice.
