Legendario Domingo Espadin is made in the village of San Luis del Rio, Oaxaca. It is produced by Familia Velasco.
About this mezcal
Legendario Domingo is made with agave Espadin. It has mature citrus aromas that mix nicely with the presence of sweet cooked agave. Those aromas are met with a fruity flavor derived from the tropical fruits of the region, which slowly soak into the agave as they age 8-10 years before maturity. As of 2018, this mezcal has been produced by Valente Velasco and the Velasco family.
Legendario Domingo Mezcal
Legendario Domingo appears in the middle of festivity, color and celebrations of each of its places of origin. The Sundays (domingos) that are lived in a different way, as an opportunity for celebrating traditions, festivities and mixing reality with fantasy. The joy of each region makes an ordinary Sunday into a Legendary Sunday (Legendario Domingo).

72 reviewsLote No. 6P0-02, Botella No. 110/600, 48%, 200ml
Nose – A very strong sweet aroma; tamarind, fresh cut grass, rubbing alcohol, and orange juice. Very upfront and in your face, like a whiff of a Sharpie marker.
Palate – Ginger. It’s woodsy and bittersweet. Leans more vegetal and mineral than it does sweet.
Finish – A soft bitterness; celery stalks.
Surprising minerality considering the very sweet nose. Enjoyable and smooth. However the nose packs more of a punch than the palate.

16 reviewsSolid Espadin for the price, opens with herbal and floral notes. Then lots of cirtus and orange notes, with tempered smoke. A solid cocktail option and easy sipper.

1 reviewWhen you take a whiff, you’re hit with the sweet aroma of ripe citrus and that unmistakable smell of cooked agave, the essence of Oaxaca in a bottle. Earthy goodness combined with a sweet and fruity kick.

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. Nice burnt rubber aroma love it also overheated phenolics Electronics burning phenolics

641 reviewsAs 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.

29 reviewsVery 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

Nose: Medium smoke – not too sweet. Got some rosewater in there.
Palate: Initial citrus – more orange rind than sweet (sweetness hit light and faded fast). Medium smoke just like on the nose. Long burn – not a cheap alcohol burn but it let’s you know it’s there. Aftertaste is a tad grassy. On my second pull got a good bit of sweetness which was awesome. Solid espadin for the price.
2nd Bottle (July 2021):
Lote No. LDMEX-24 (Bottle 758/840)
Nose – Big orange citrus. Floral notes. Vanilla. Soft smoke.
Palate – Much more floral this second bottle. Vanilla extract. Fresh pancakes. Orange peel bitterness. My palate may have become more smoke tolerant since the last review, I do find this less smoky and better quality especially compared to lower end, industrial mezcals. Nice grassy finish and the smoke/heat ramps up some.

2 reviewsMy 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.

53 reviewsLight 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.

86 reviewsMy 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.

209 reviewsSweet 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.

8 reviewsLDMEX-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.

421 reviewsLot: 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!

1 reviewFirst 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.
