Pierde Almas Mezcal
Pierde Almas Tepextate
Pierde Almas Tepextate is a Joven mezcal from Rodolfo Hernandez. This 55% ABV spirit presents light aromas of banana, cocoa, and unglazed pottery. The palate balances floral, vegetal, and smoky notes with sweet coumarin and green pepper. Viscosity is high, releasing flavors slowly despite the heat. The finish offers tobacco smoke and salinity with a pleasant, lingering warmth. While some find the agave character subtle, others note its elegant complexity and fresh fruit profile. This bottle delivers a distinct sensory impression through careful balance.

About the Brand
Behind each bottle of Pierde Almas is a time-honored recipe kept alive with painstaking care by the family patriarch in each successive generation. Their labels are hand-printed on 100% acid-free, handmade paper derived from fibers that are indigenous to the region and have been in use since pre-Columbian times. With their Wild Agave Reforestation Program, they are actively engaged in the re-forestation of wild species of Agave in those areas where their populations have been depleted. Pierde Almas begins each rainy season by inviting bartenders, chefs, restauranteurs, and journalists to join them for their annual wild Tobalá planting. Due to the artisinal nature of their mezcal, the ABV of each lot may vary slightly. In May 2018, British multinational alcoholic beverages company Diageo purchased Pierde Almas Mezcal.
