Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is an unaged espadín mezcal from Oaxaca, made from 100% agave espadín using the traditional, non-mechanized methods of mezcal artesanal. It pours clear and bright, with a nose of roasted agave, a little tropical fruit and a gentle thread of smoke balanced against earthier notes. The palate opens with cooked agave sweetness, then a touch of vanilla and some herbal lift on a smooth, light body, before a clean, crisp finish where the smoke lingers softly and a fresh herbal note closes things out. That balance is the point. The smoke supports the agave rather than overwhelming it, which makes this a natural first bottle for anyone curious about mezcal. It is also a dependable espadín reference for enthusiasts building a tasting lineup. It sips nicely neat from a copita and works just as well as the base for a Mezcal Margarita or an Oaxaca Old Fashioned. We carry it because honest, approachable mezcal is exactly what newcomers to the category need, and it still rewards experienced drinkers.
Pairs well with
- Citrusy ceviche — The bright acidity plays off the mezcal's tropical fruit and herbal notes, while its gentle smoke adds depth to the seafood.
- Simply grilled fish — Char from the grill echoes the subtle, lingering smokiness, and the light, smooth body won't overpower delicate fish.
- Mezcal tasting night with friends — Its balanced profile of cooked agave, vanilla and soft smoke makes it a clear espadín benchmark to compare against other expressions.
