Description

Espadin and Oaxacan mezcal making meet in this collaboration between Mezcal De Leyendas and maestros mezcaleros. The producer draws on the region's artisanal traditions and its history of agave cultivation. The liquid carries that focus through a broad set of herbal, floral, citrus and nutty notes.

Avocado leaf and fresh pine lead the nose, followed by flowers, Chinese orange and royal lime. Cooked agave and piloncillo add sweetness. The smooth palate carries those herbal and floral elements into dried fruit, pistachio and pine nut. Olive and minerality bring a savory dimension. Dried fruit, pine and wet earth linger on the finish.

Sip neat and slowly to follow the changes across the palate. For cocktails, use it in an Oaxaca Old Fashioned or Mezcal Negroni. It can also join a comparative mezcal flight.
