Legendario Domingo Oaxaca Espadin

LDMEX36 2351/2880 48% aroma’s out of the bottle or red fruit and cinnamon with the usual acetone alcohol very pleasant. Taste Falls to suit with a lot of agave Brown matter and finishing off with alcohol and a very clean finish. Some smoke but restrained. Once again pretty delicious for a $40 bottle

As others have noted, this is one tasty Espadin. Big fruit notes. The orange label color is influencing my brain a bit – makes me think of a tropical forest with citrus trees. Once it opens up, there is quite a bit of vanilla. I think I grabbed this at K&L in 2019 for $40 which is a steal. Lot LDMEX-19, bottle 1080/2520.

Very tropical and floral notes on the nose, it’s a unique smell that I have not gotten on other espadins before. Slight smoke on the palate with notes or orange, lavender, light cinnamon. Slight burn on the backend but awesome espadin for the price

This was medium smokey, extremely sweet first flavor transitioning to a warm aloe, roasted caramel note. My favorite mezcal. 1582/1680. Lot LD mex25.

very good quality.i dont know if its a 4 star but is very close.espadin profile to the bone.fat-semi sweet agave flavor.orange peel/tangerine on the nose and palate.initial taste was not sweet but slightly bitter like orange zest.like zack said,the second pull had a much sweeter flavor.earthy finish with pleasant heat.no harshness.if you factor the price,it may be a 4 star.very pleased with this bottle.

My favorite mezcal. Its fresh scent fits perfectly with its sweet flavor. This is perfect when you are looking to get something light and it goes great with citrus cocktails.

Light with fruit on the nose.
Sweetness with orange peel, agave and light eartiness on the palate. Not a lot of smoke.
Nice warming finish.
Very pleasant. This is a solid Espadin mezcal at a good price.

My favorite budget Espadin – distinct agave and tropical notes – this mezcal always makes me feel like its summertime and it has a great nose also. Usually hovers around $40-50 and the high proof hits but doesn’t knock you over.

Sweet with tropical notes as others have pointed out, with the best part being that it seems to carry a distinguished orange peel smell. Taste is a bit too much ethanol and the finish is a tad harsh. Very different then the other L.D. Michocan mezcal, and more complex (surprising to me considering the price difference between the two). This one to me seems more of a fit for cocktails vs a copita.

LDMEX-17. Delightful, and a great value IMO. Lots of ripe pineapple and earth notes with just a hint of smoke and a complete lack of any resinous flavors from the pit. At 48% those flavors are tight and bright and come across really well. Great as a nipper and great in a cocktail when you don’t want to use the usual suspects that are aimed for a bar’s rail. This one will be in my regular rotation.

Medium to high roast, pineapple and tropical fruit. Palate is citrus-orange peel with that espadin profile and slightly earthy. Balanced finish with enjoyable heat. Solid value proposition.

Lot: FSK 09X.01 Surprisingly good, especially for the price! When I first opened it the smell was pure nail polish remover, but within a few minutes it mellowed out to a nice subtle fruity aroma. The taste was orange creamsicle, lemon peel, spearmint lifesavers, rosewater, and cinnamon sticks. A really nice Espadin!

this one is in my top 3 mezcals ever, easy to deal with to be a espadín, taste like an old school, plus the price is really good

Very good for an espadin and for the price

First one I tried and probably the best to start with, this espadín is quite different from the variety I’ve been trying over the years, what sets it apart is the earthy yet fresh taste, not as smokey as you would’ve imagined, legendario domingo is coming strong and straight to the palate on this one.
