Mezcal Carreño is an ultra premium mezcal brand that has received multiple international awards. The outstanding quality is achieved due to the year-old tradition and Mezcal manufacturing art, which is passed on from generation to generation in the Carreño family and the Mezcalero masters. Each sip of Tepeztate Mezcal offers you special mineral flavors due to the rocky area where this agave grows. the mezcal is balanced, delicate but powerful to offer a harmony of flavors of cooked agave with herbaceous notes and light hints of jalapeño. Tepeztate is one of the wild agave varieties that takes the longest to mature. The agave has to grow for a full 20 to 25 years before it is ready for mezcal production. The steep cliffs on which the rare Tepeztate Agave grows makes harvesting the agave a very laborious and a time-consuming process.
