Verdict
Tepextate usually arrives in copper, hot and floral-aggressive; the refrescador still gives Aniceto García's version a cleaner, cooler run at the agave's character. Seven reviewers at 4.1; we agree. A tepextate for drinkers who've found the copper versions too much, not a softer bottle, a clearer one.
Refrescador tepextate is a rare treatment. Aniceto does it right
Tasting notes
Nose: Wild orchid, lime blossom, wet stone, white pepper
Palate: Refrescador distillation on tepextate at 48% – the floral top blooms without the copper heat, the mineral base reads clean, and the bottle drinks lighter than its weight
Finish: Floral, flinty, very long
The bottom line
The pick for the refrescador tepextate singularity
