El Mero Mero Espadin

El Mero Mero Espadin is made with agave Espadin in the town of San Dionisio, Ocotepec, Oaxaca. Few mezcals originate from this region. With very little rainfall, the agave grows low to the ground in order to absorb as much water as possible. Just like grapes, this stresses the plants out, creating more sugar, and in turn more flavor. The limestone rich soil has lots of minerals and helps the agave retain water in the arid climate. The agave used in this mezcal are tahona crushed, fermented in Encino Oak tubs, and double distilled in copper. The proofing of this spirit uses no water, only the heads and tails of the distillate.

This mezcal has notes of herbal smoke, wood resin, earthy minerals, dampness, clay and a hint of peppery spice.
