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.

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.

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.

85 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.

153 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.

100 reviewsMedium 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.

358 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.
