Maestro: Simeon Ramirez
Agave: 100% Tepextate (A. marmorata)
ABV: 50.2%
Location: San Agustín Amatengo, Oaxaca
The King of Wild Agave Tepextate is often called the "King of Agaves" due to its incredible longevity these massive, prehistoric-looking plants can take up to 25–35 years to reach maturity. This Series 7 release is a rare opportunity to taste the work of Maestro Simeon Ramirez, a producer revered for his ability to tame the wild, intense personality of the Tepextate plant.
At 50.2% ABV, this is a powerful, high-proof distillate that captures the rugged, vertical landscape of San Agustín Amatengo. It is a "spirit of patience," reflecting decades of growth and generations of distilling expertise.
Tasting Notes
- Aroma: An explosive and unmistakable Tepextate nose. It opens with high-toned floral notes of gardenia and jasmine, quickly grounded by deep, savory aromas of green peppercorn, wet clay, and fresh-cut jalapeño.
- Palate: Intense and multi-layered. The 50.2% proof offers a bold, spicy entry with a distinct "electric" tingle. You’ll find a complex interplay of grapefruit zest, sandalwood, and a savory, vegetal sweetness reminiscent of roasted root vegetables and wild herbs.
- Finish: Long, mineral, and hauntingly complex. It leaves the palate with a lingering sense of crushed stones, anise, and a faint, sweet smoke that stays with you long after the last 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.
