MEZCALS OFFERED:
Espadín (Joven): The brand’s highly acclaimed flagship expression, handcrafted from 100% estate-grown Agave Espadín that matures for 8 to 10 years, and bottled at a robust 45% ABV. Built to be exceptionally consistent and entirely additive-free, it features a vibrant, traditional nose rich with campfire smoke, cooked agave, and subtle earthy clay. On the palate, it is remarkably fruity and slightly sweet, delivering bright notes of mango, papaya, and a distinct, charming touch of sweet berries and mild citrus. It concludes with a pleasant minerality and a long, mellow finish accented by a gentle peppery heat, making it highly versatile for both neat sipping and elevated cocktails.
