TEQUILA ADICCIÓN
OAXACA, MEXICO
"Bold, vibrant, and intensely expressive. Mezcal Spicy Adicción is the ultimate interpretation of the wild Tepeztate agave from the high Oaxacan cliffs: a distillate with a markedly dry profile and a strong personality, where aromas of cooked agave blend with notes of green pepper, fresh citrus, and a pronounced mineral background."
High-Altitude Wild Agave, Artisanal Distillation, and Dry Profile
The Mezcal Spicy Tepeztate Adicción 700ml 40° is born from the search for contemporary and complex profiles within the artisanal universe of Oaxaca, Mexico. Produced by the firm Tequila Adicción from wild Tepeztate agaves (Agave marmorata) harvested after 20 to 25 years of maturation on rocky cliffs, this distillate offers a purely dry gastronomic character, free of artificial sweeteners. Traditionally cooked in conical stone ovens and subjected to double distillation in copper stills, it displays a dazzling vegetal freshness with nuances of green pepper, mild jalapeño, wild herbs, sour lime, and a rich mineral salinity on the palate. Its iconic deep-green ceramic bottle, hand-molded by Mexican artisans, makes each batch a piece of timeless art. Purchase it with guaranteed authenticity and specialized shipping at LaCava.shop.
