Mezcal Carreño Tepeztate is produced by mezcalero Aureliano Hernandez in San Dionisio Ocotlán, Oaxaca using maguey Tepeztate. Despite its size, the plants can be found in more rocky areas and even the side of step cliffs. One of the scarcer varietals, it can take more than 25 years for the Tepeztate to mature and provides a full bodied and earthy characteristics. The Tepeztate agaves are cooked together in an underground pit oven, milled by tahona, open-air fermented in pine vats, and double distilled in copper stills. Taste of rich minerality, cooked agave, and jalapenos are felt in each sip.
