"Bold, vibrant, and intensely expressive. Mezcal Spicy Adicción is the ultimate interpretation of wild Tepeztate agave from the high Oaxacan cliffs: a distillate with a markedly dry profile and strong personality, where aromas of cooked agave unite 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° was born from the pursuit of contemporary and complex profiles within the artisanal universe of Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted by the Tequila Adicción firm 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, field herbs, sour lime, and a rich mineral salinity on the palate. Its iconic deep green ceramic bottle, hand-molded by Mexican artisans, makes every batch a timeless piece of art. Purchase it with guaranteed authenticity and specialized shipping at La Cava Shop.
