About this mezcal
Machetazo Espadin is made with agave Espadin in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. Espadin is the mostly commonly used agave in Oaxaca as it’s more resistant to weather and pests, and it can also be more easily cultivated in comparison to other agave. That said, the agave Espadin used by Machetazo still take 8-12 years to reach maturity. This mezcal has subtle floral notes with a light spicy finish.

Mezcal Machetazo follows traditional mezcal production processes that have been passed down from generation to generation.

86 reviewsVanilla sets up this low cost offering and although there’s nothing outstanding about this mezcal there’s also nothing to detract from the great value (under $30). One dimensional with a sweet/vanilla profile. If you’re looking for a value/well/cocktail/shot mezcal and don’t want to break the bank this is a winner. Starting to see it pop up at Whole Foods even and the rating takes into account the value.
