Erstwhile Sotol Tepeztate is a unique spirit crafted by Erstwhile Mezcal, known for its dedication to traditional Mexican distillation methods. This spirit is made from the Tepeztate agave, a wild variety that grows in rocky, mountainous regions, contributing to its distinct flavor profile. The production involves a meticulous process of roasting the agave in earthen pits, followed by fermentation in open-air wooden vats, and distillation in copper stills. The result is a complex spirit with earthy, herbal notes, complemented by a hint of smokiness and a touch of sweetness. With an ABV that typically ranges around 45%, this sotol offers a robust and full-bodied experience, capturing the essence of its Mexican heritage.
