Mala Idea Tepextate Mezcal
Mala Idea Tepextate is a 750ml bottling of wild Tepextate (Agave marmorata), a slow-maturing agave that can take well over a decade to ripen. Mala Idea was founded by Marcos Mendoza and is made in small micro-batches by mezcalero Celestino Sernas in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Piñas are roasted in an earthen oven, crushed with a 1.5-ton tahona wheel, fermented in the open air with ambient wild yeasts, and distilled in vintage copper stills, with some bottlings distilled a third time. The agave is a mix of semi-cultivated and wild plants, and the whole process is artesanal, done by hand in the traditional Oaxacan way with no industrial shortcuts. The brand focuses on single-agave and ensamble expressions that let each plant speak for itself. Tepextate is known for a bold, herbal, peppery and earthy profile with mineral depth and a long finish, so sip it neat in a copita to appreciate its intensity.
