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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuy Mala Idea Tepextate Mezcal online with fast shipping right to your door.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mala Idea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50879658164480,"sku":"C0010886L","price":90.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0057\/8089\/7892\/files\/mala-idea-tepextate-mezcal_8c3b2ffe-ac1f-41d3-aa60-1561d3d45abd.jpg?v=1793905116","url":"https:\/\/chipsliquor.com\/products\/mala-idea-tepextate-mezcal","provider":"Chips Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
