Maestro mezcalero, Leo Hernández, selects the best agaves to create a product based on centuries of tradition. The Grulani estate is entirely organic and the agaves are left to mature to their species' maximum age before harvest. The bottles are made in nearby Jalisco from recycled glass and the paper labels are made from discarded agave fibers. This is arguably the most sustainable mezcal on the market. Grulani's attention to detail and commitment to traditional methods is apparent in all their processes, and highly evident in the quality of the final liquor. 

100% Tepeztate (A. Marmorata) from San Baltazar Guelavila. Average age of agaves at harvest is an astonishing 25 years! The pinas are cooked in an earthen oven pit over oak for roughly 4 days, crushed with a stone mill pulled by a horse, fermented for 3-5 days in pine vats, then distilled twice in Grulani's own copper alembic pot still. The Tepeztate is the pinnacle of highly limited, one-of-a-kind productions from Grulani; only 450 bottles were produced. Due to the extreme age of these agaves, this is the only bottling of this particular mezcal.

Intensely complex and full-bodied, notes of desert sage and charred green chiles on the nose, with an extremely long finish of burnt citrus and rare earth minerals. This leans into the less smoky and more herbaceous side of true authentic mezcal which is sadly disappearing as mass-produced brands have flooded the market. Limit one bottle per customer.
