Don Lorenzo Tepeztate Mezcal
Don Lorenzo Mezcal is a three-generation family operation in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, working out of two palenques, Mal de Amor and Dos Zapotecas. This Tepeztate comes from Palenque Mal de Amor, where brothers Armando and Alvaro Hernández make it from wild Agave marmorata, known as tepeztate. The plants used here were about 25 years old, harvested in the hills of Santa María Zoquitlán, nearly twice the age of the agave in the brand's Cuishe from the same area. Production is fully traditional: the piñas are cooked in an earthen pit oven over red oak, milled by a stone tahona, fermented naturally with open-air yeasts, and double distilled in copper alembic stills. It is bottled unaged at 45% ABV. A reviewer on Mezcal Reviews notes campfire-like smoke on the nose and a palate that is solid and surprisingly smooth, developing earth and light vegetal notes, maybe a wisp of asparagus, before a finish that turns slightly bitter. Sip it neat from a copita, slowly, and give it a few minutes in the glass.
