Pasión Ancestral Arroqueño-Tepeztate Ensamble Mezcal: The Wild Convergence
Pasión Ancestral honors the Oaxacan wildlands with this exceptional 50/50 Ensamble of two of the most revered and complex agave species: Arroqueño (Agave americana) and Tepeztate (Agave marmorata). This limited-release Mezcal marries the bold, structured power of Arroqueño with the intense, herbal-tropical fragrance of the long-maturing Tepeztate.
Produced using time-honored ancestral methods, this spirit captures the essence of the high-altitude, rocky terrain where these magnificent, decades-old agaves thrive.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: A powerful, enticing nose that seamlessly blends two profiles. Notes of intense fresh-cut grass, lime peel, and sweet passion fruit from the Tepeztate are underpinned by the heavier, foundational scent of the Arroqueño: roasted banana, dark cocoa, and cinnamon baking spice.
- Palate: Richly textured and dynamic. It opens with the Tepeztate's characteristic vibrant minerality, oregano, and white pepper, which quickly gives way to the Arroqueño's robust depth of caramelized agave, earthy tobacco, and a subtle nutty richness. The 50/50 balance ensures a harmonious, layered complexity.
- Finish: Extraordinarily long and evolving. The bright, high notes of the Tepeztate linger with a clean, flowery perfume, while the Arroqueño provides a deep, warm anchor of smoky cedar and clay oven earthiness. A truly contemplative sip.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
