Made with ten-year-old Agave angustifolia, Tosba Espadín has a light nose with long lasting citrus and fruit on the tongue. The flavor of smoke is subtle, a direct result of the driftwood-fired roasting of the agave hearts in Tosba’s unique adobe-lipped earthen oven. Lighter bodied and more acidic than most Espadín, this is a unique and tropical example of the category.

"Whether you think of entry-level as being tied to price or mass market appeal, this Espadín represents the pinnacle on both fronts. Its attractive nose — which leads with floral, fruity, candied, and lightly smoky aromas — and flavorsome palate ensure newbies and seasoned agave spirits drinkers alike have much to savor here."
