Tlamati Destilado de Agave Tequilana “Buried Series” 750ml

The Buried Series is an ongoing collection of batches from Tlamati that have been deposited in large glass damajuanas and other jugs post-distillation and carefully buried underground at the Salas family home for at least a year. This dark, cool resting place allows flavors to integrate, to mellow and soften over time, and to evolve into a rewarding new experience. Each release is extremely limited.

For this special release, Tlamati offers a tiny taste of Balbino and Sergio’s rare Tequilana—an exciting window into the Tequilana Weber variety, here produced in Puebla using traditional mezcal techniques rather than those of modern tequila in Jalisco. The batch was made in 2019, then buried in the earth for two full years before being cautiously removed, filtered, and rested another year in glass and finally bottled in 2023. One of the most remarkable and most rare bottles of mezcal we’ve encountered; only twenty liters were ultimately produced.
