Tepanal Ancestral Coyote Mezcal
Tepanal is the clay-pot mezcal of Rafael García Aragón, a mezcalero in Santa María Sola de Vega, the Oaxacan district that made clay-pot distillation famous. The brand launched in 2020 with his son Jair and partner Antonio Avendaño, and the name comes from Tepanaltepec, "hill of honeycombs," for the honey once harvested in these hills. The process is old-school throughout: agave roasted in an earthen pit, fermented five to seven days in cypress tanks with wild airborne yeast, and double distilled in small clay pots. Coyote is a wild agave (a variety of Agave americana) that grows in the hills around Sola de Vega and is rarely bottled on its own — it's slow to mature and hard to find in quantity. Mezcaleros prize it for a spirit that's herbal and earthy with a sweetness underneath, and in Tepanal's clay pots it picks up the house minerality. This is the new 2026 batch. Bottled at 49% ABV.
