Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is unaged Espadín mezcal from Santa Catarina Minas in Oaxaca, a village that sits beyond Chichicapa across a demanding mountain pass. It is made by the Sarmiento family of palenqueros using traditional methods. Bottled at 50% ABV (100 proof), it has real presence, yet the profile leans fragrant rather than brash: wildflowers, vanilla and ripe fig on the nose, then burnt honey and a bright twist of lemon on the palate. Smoke, earthy and mineral tones sit underneath, and a sweetness carries through a warm finish. It suits the drinker who already enjoys a mezcal or two and wants to explore how place shapes the spirit, and it rewards slow sipping from a copita. It also makes a characterful Mezcal Margarita if you want to share it around. We carry it because single-village bottlings like this one let you taste a specific community and its arid semi-tropical microclimate, and this one delivers floral, honeyed depth without losing the agave at its heart.
Pairs well with
- Spicy mole — The mezcal's burnt honey sweetness and earthy smoke balance the heat and depth of a rich mole.
- Roasted nuts and cheeses — Toasty nuts and a selection of cheeses echo the mezcal's earthy, mineral side while its honeyed sweetness rounds out each bite.
- Warm evening on the patio — Served slightly chilled, its lemon zest and floral notes turn refreshing and easy to linger over outdoors.
