Erstwhile Tepeztate Mezcal (Ancestral Limited Edition)
A legacy of the era when Mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca, this Erstwhile Ancestral Limited Release rescues a García family tradition that had been forgotten for more than forty years.
Distilled in clay pots. Distillation tube made from quiote (flowering stalk of agave plants) instead of metal. In the 1960's and 1970's, Don Lencho - Silverio García's father - would use hollowed out quiote instead of copper tubes, to evade the military that would come and seize his distillation equipment by force.
ABV: 48.0%
