A mezcal not made from Espadin is a true treat and shows the diversity of the spirit. So many nuanced, complexities are revealed when compared side by side. A must.
TASTE: Bright, beautiful acidity with high florals of sweet violets, herbal notes of tarragon and a slight sandalwood finish.
ENJOY: Sipped slowly. Take your time and “kiss” this mezcal. Look past the alcohol and unlock a hidden world of agave goodness
