El Mero Mero Espadin

El Mero Mero Espadín

Made from Agave Angustifolia (Espadín) in San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca, a region few mezcals come from. With very little rainfall, the agave grows low to the ground to absorb as much water as possible, and that stress concentrates sugars and flavor, much like grapes. The limestone-rich, mineral soil helps the plants retain water in the arid climate. The agave is tahona-crushed, fermented in Encino oak tubs for 3 to 5 days, and double distilled in copper, then proofed using no water, only the heads and tails of the distillate. Expect herbal smoke, wood resin, earthy minerals, clay, and a hint of peppery spice.

Sip it neat to take in the minerality and smoke, or use it as a bold base for a mezcal cocktail.
