Espadín

• Destilado de agave produced in Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca
• Maestro mezcalero Edgar Angeles Carreño
• Distilled from 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia)
• Cooked in an earthen oven
• Milled using machete, mallet, and small electric grinder
• Fermented in open-air wooden vats (tinas)
• Distilled twice using traditional Filipino-style clay pot stills
• Tasting notes include sage, dried fruit, pear skin, subtle smoke
• 53.4% ABV (ABV may vary batch to batch)

Since taking over, Edgar Ángeles Carreño has been returning to a more concentrated, high-proof, and historical style of distillation—rarely dipping below 100 proof—making this Espadín a powerful introduction to mezcal the way it was made centuries ago.

Tasting Notes

Since taking over the helm at the palenque, Edgar Angeles Carreño has been returning to a more concentrated, high-proof and historic style of distillation — rarely dipping below 100 proof — making this Espadin a powerful introduction to mezcal en barro the way it was made centuries ago.  This sultry example exhibits notes of sage and pear skin, with a long, dry finish.
