Especial forms a limited series showcasing spirits produced from rare and wild agaves. Sourced from batches too small to be considered for mezcal certification, these spirits represent traditional subsistence mezcalero culture. Each batch is unique and un-repeatable.

 

PA1 comes from Felipe and Ageo Cortes - a father son team who distil in a refrescador still - a type of water cooled alembic allowing for clean and precise distillation. Their Tepextate is an umami bomb with notes of green pepper, fresh corriander, Jalepeno and seaweed. A clean and fresh palate with a long and constantly evolving finish. It's a phenomenal spirit, one to expand your understanding of what a mezcal can be.

The smoke hits different with these wild agaves—you can taste the terroir of Tepexate de Felipe in every sip, plus that rare batch character. I’m already dreading the day this bottle’s empty, because nothing else on my shelf comes close.

Henry E. ★★★★★

Opened this bottle expecting another everyday mezcal, but the rare wild agaves in this tiny PA1 batch give it a depth I haven't found in anything else. The earthy, smoky finish lingers beautifully, and knowing it's too small for certification makes it feel like a hidden gem. Worth every penny for a

Harper R. ★★★★★

The wild agave in this batch gives it a rawness I haven't found in certified mezcals, and the small-batch nature makes each sip feel like a rare find. It's a bit pricier, but for a limited release like this, I'm already planning my next bottle.
