About this mezcal
Riquezas de Oaxaca Espadin is created using mature maguey Espadin (agave Angustifolia) grown in San Luis Del Rio at roughly 1490 meters above sea level. The agave are grown among “Arboles de Huajes,” which help fix nitrogen in the soil, naturally accelerating the maturation of agave and the concentration of their sugars. During the second distillation, Maestro Mezcalero Enrique Hernandez only uses the heart of the distillate. He believes it to be the purest part, with the least amount of Methanol, and the richest taste of the agave plant.

641 reviewsClassic example of “don’t judge a mezcal by it’s label”. There are some nice rock candy notes here with some green olives, mineral water, salt, and raisin. Smoke on the backend like charred molasses. Definitely not weak at 44% ABV, the mezcal has medium viscosity and hits with a tingle your mouth. I can sip this but also think it would make a great cocktail. Batch: MAO-002.
