An alluring, smoky glass of mezcal with aromas of roasted jicama, bright citrus and mint. This bottling, from the village of San Balthazar Chichicapa, is an extraordinary example of how varied and unique Espadin can be depending on the local microclimate, and who the palequero is. There is a hint of honey and vanilla throughout the palate that has a luscious, oily texture. The finish offers a last touch of peppery spice and earthy delight. |
