LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

“

A masterpiece of artisanal production. It is smoky, yes, but the fruit and freshness make it incredibly drinkable. It is the benchmark for Espadín.

The Library Note

Produced in the valley village of San Balthazar Chichicapa by maestro mezcalero Faustino Garcia Vasquez. The agave is roasted for days and fermented naturally in open-air vats. It represents the pure, unadulterated taste of the Oaxacan terroir.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Sweet roasted agave, toasted corn, and dried fruit.

THE PALATE

Complex and waxy. Flavors of grilled pineapple, lemon zest, and a distinct minty freshness.

THE FINISH

Long, smoky, and chocolatey.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

Neat in a copita (clay cup), with orange slices and sal de gusano (worm salt) on the side.
