Banhez is a cooperative of 36 farming families from San Miguel Ejutla in the Ejutla region of Oaxaca, built by Francisco Javier, a former president of the National Mezcal Council, and now led by his son Luis. Each bottling is a single expression from the co-op's growers, bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof) in a 750ml bottle. The Tepeztate is made from 100% Tepeztate (Agave marmorata), a wild-harvested species that can take 25 years or more to mature, which is why bottlings of it are prized by mezcal collectors. The producer describes smoke and earth with a green pepper, vegetal nose, soft green apple fruit and citrus zest. Reviewers on retailer pages call it smooth, flavorful and a favorite among varietals. The savory, green profile makes it one of the more distinctive pours in the Banhez lineup and a good counterpoint to the lusher Tobalá and Cuishe. Serve it neat in a copita, with a wedge of orange or a pinch of sal de gusano, or pair it with ceviche, grilled vegetables and spicy dishes.
