CUISH | Tepeztate | Esteban Jarquin | 500ml | 2012
Esteban Jarquin is the father of Sosimo Jarquin. They are from a very well know family of mezcal producers from the district of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca. This Tepeztate has been rested in glass since 2012 and finally made his way to Denmark thanks to our dear friend Felix Hernández (founder of CUISH). Esteban is well know for his traditional methods that he inherited from his father. He learned to use clay pots for distillation when he first learned the art of making mezcal when he was 12 years old. About 27 years ago he switched to copper alambique still. He is still harvesting, cooking and crushing the agaves the same way he learned from his father.
