Tepanal 'Coyote' Madurado Ancestral

Hailing from Santa Maria Sola de Vega in Oaxaca, Tepanal 'Coyote' Madurado Ancestral embodies the essence of tradition in its ancestral mezcal-making. Crafted by Mezcalero Rafael G. Garcia Aragon, this spirit is derived from the rare Coyote agave (Agave Americana ssp.), known for its rich, earthy profile and complex aromas. The agave undergoes a careful hand maceration process and ferments in wooden vats, ensuring each step preserves the agave’s natural essence. The spirit’s four-year maturation in glass vessels accentuates its unique characteristics, enhancing both depth and complexity.

On the palate, Tepanal 'Coyote' reveals a symphony of earthy tones with soft floral notes and a gentle hint of sweetness. Double-distilled in clay pots, it offers a smooth, refined finish that embodies traditional mezcal production at its finest. The combination of the agave’s terroir and meticulous distillation practices brings forward a robust profile, allowing connoisseurs to experience a harmonious balance of flavors, each sip deepening the connection to Oaxaca’s mezcal heritage.

With a proof of 96.6° (48.3% ABV), this spirit is ideal for sipping neat, revealing its layered character best when savored slowly. Its small batch of just 108 bottles reflects the dedication to quality and tradition, making Tepanal 'Coyote' Madurado Ancestral a prized addition to any serious mezcal collection.
