Overview

A legacy of the era when Mezcal production was illegal in Oaxaca, this batch of Tepeztate crafted by Silverio García Luis rescues a García family tradition that had been forgotten for almost fifty years.Don Lencho, Silverio’s father, used a hollowed out quiote (the flowering stalk of agave plants) instead of a copper turbante, to evade the military that would come and seize his distillation equipment by force.Now you too can partake in this unique mezcal tradition from the García family in Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca, available for the first time in the United States in partnership with Erstwhile Mezcal.

Erstwhile's Ancestral Tepeztate is a profoundly special release that mezcal collectors treasure for its rare agave variety, its rescued family tradition, and the extraordinary story of distillation using a hollowed-out agave quiote to evade military enforcement of Prohibition-era bans. Reviewers describe a wild, complex flavor profile — earthy, vegetal, and unmistakably unique — that cannot be replicated outside this specific Oaxacan heritage. An irreplaceable piece of mezcal history that belongs in the collections of serious enthusiasts.
