Description

Espadín agave is the starting point for this artisanal Montelobos mezcal from Oaxaca. The producer draws on the region's generations of mezcal-making knowledge. Bottled at 43.2% ABV, the joven centers on the contrast between fresh green agave and the deeper flavors of cooked agave. Both remain distinct in the glass.

The palate opens sweet, with green agave freshness alongside cooked agave depth. Dried fruit follows as the sip develops. Roasted agave brings smoke, threaded with herbal notes and an earthy character. The movement from fresh to roasted flavors gives several sides of the same plant room to emerge.

Serve neat at room temperature or slightly chilled. Let it rest in the glass for a few minutes before tasting. For a cocktail, try a Mezcal Margarita with its agave and smoke at the center.

Montelobos Mezcal Espadin offers a sensory journey that begins with a sweet and inviting entry on the palate. It showcases a delicate balance between the freshness of green agave and the depth of cooked agave. This initial burst of agave sweetness gradually transforms into an array of intriguing flavors. As you savor this mezcal, you'll notice the emergence of dried fruit notes, imparting a subtle complexity to the overall profile.

Roasted agave plays a starring role, bringing forth a smoky character that intertwines gracefully with herbal undertones. This harmonious integration of flavors is a testament to the craftsmanship behind Montelobos Espadin. It's a mezcal that invites you to explore the nuances of agave, from its earthy roots to its refined, smoky essence.

How to drink

Montelobos Mezcal Espadin is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in various ways, each highlighting its unique qualities:

  1. Neat: Sip it slowly at room temperature or slightly chilled to fully appreciate the intricate flavors. Allow the mezcal to rest in the glass for a few minutes before savoring its evolving profile.
  2. Mezcal Cocktails: Montelobos Espadin adds depth and character to mezcal cocktails. Consider using it in classics like the Mezcal Margarita, Mezcal Negroni, or the Oaxacan Old Fashioned for a smoky twist.
  3. Pairing: Mezcal pairs beautifully with foods that have bold, smoky, or spicy flavors. Try it with grilled meats, Mexican cuisine, or dishes featuring mole sauce for a delightful culinary experience.
  4. Sipping Experience: For a more immersive experience, serve Montelobos Espadin in a traditional clay copita or a tulip-shaped mezcal glass. Sip slowly, savoring each layer of flavor as it unfolds.

Remember that Montelobos Mezcal Espadin is not just a spirit; it's a testament to the artistry and heritage of mezcal-making. Whether enjoyed alone or in good company, it promises an unforgettable journey through the diverse and enchanting world of agave spirits.
