The result is a mezcal with a bright, candied fruit nose and a sweetness that carries through the palate with passion fruit, marzipan, and honeysuckle floral notes — lighter, more aromatic, and more delicate than most wild agave mezcals. Tepextate takes 20–25 years to mature and cannot be cultivated, making production volumes extremely limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright candied fruit — banana taffy and spun sugar from the high-altitude rock-growing conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Passion fruit and marzipan sweetness with a light cinnamon note of organic Mexican sugar and floral honeysuckle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light and aromatic with floral persistence\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Del Maguey Single Village Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tepextate (Agave marmorata) — wild, high-altitude\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGrowing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Near-vertical out of rock faces at high altitude\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Twice distilled, copper pot stills\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 46.2% (92.4 Proof)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003emezcal at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"What is Tepextate agave?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Tepextate (Agave marmorata) has broad twisted leaves and grows near-vertical out of rock faces at high altitude.
