Quiquiriqui Mezcal Wild Tepeztate | 700ML

Mezcal artesanal from Quiquiriqui, made from 100% tepeztate agave, a slow-maturing variety that thrives on steep, rocky slopes. The agave is roasted in wood-fired pits, and copper pot distilled. A fantastic mezcal for those looking to sample single maguey styles.

Quiquiriqui Mezcal Wild Tepeztate | 700ML Tasting Notes

Nose: Aromatically complex of all the Quiquiriqui Mezcals, with a bright and perfumed, almost floral intensity, followed by sweet metallic notes, and some lingering fruitiness in the background.

Palate: The palate is bolder, with meaty cured charcuterie characters and buttery sweetness, ahead of an almost ferrous zing and delicate wood smoke.

Finish: The texture is supremely silky and slippery, coating the tongue before sliding away and leaving a finish abounding with classic Mezcal minerality.

Distillery Information

Quiquiriqui Mezcals are all single palenque, handcrafted spirits, produced in Oaxaca, Mexico. Established in 2012, we partner directly with families who have been producing traditional Mezcals in their communities for generations Our products are made to order in small batches. We are committed to making our Mezcals with a social responsibility towards the local communities. QQRQ has always worked hard to bring quality handmade Mezcals to you all at affordable prices. After spending 6 months in Oaxaca learning about and falling in love with Mezcal, its culture and history (and opening the UK's first Mezcaleria) owner Melanie started the brand, working with the Mendez family from Matatlan who she met several years before during a research trip. The family have been involved in agave spirit production for 3 generations, working from their family palenque for over 80 years. Using only traditional production techniques and secret recipes passed down through the family, each QQRQ expression is a 100% hand-made, organic spirit. The range from QQRQ is currently sold worldwide and has grown sustainably with a focus on maintaining its historical production and keeping its single palenque, family orientated values.
