Mezcalosfera 2019 Barril / Tepextate | 700ml
This bottle was made by Joe Cortés. He was 27 years old in 2019 when he made this expression of Tepextate. Joe learned from his father, the famed Margarito Cortés. He cooked the agave in an earth pit, crushed by stone mill (Tahona), then fermented it for about 6 days using only wild yeast tied to the natural environment of the region of Miahuatlán, Oaxaca.
