The Espadín Mezcal was our first product. After learning from Maestros Mezcaleros across Mexico, we crafted the most traditional production process. We noticed distillates in Sola de Vega had a sweeter and spicier feature compared to other villages, so we decided to produce our own Mezcal there and explored the concept “from seed to the bottle.” Our Espadín Mezcal displays rich minerality with notes of avocado leaf, fresh herbs, flowers, and citrus.
This ensamble is a blend of Espadin and Tobalá. Tobalá is known as king of the agaves because of its uniqueness. The agave itself is very different from most other varietals. It is physically smaller with drastically different leaves compared to Espadín and it can only be reproduced through seeds, unlike most agaves which can also produce offshoots. This makes Tobalá difficult to find and even harder to make into Mezcal since you need more of them compared to larger plants.
An aromatic balance of cucumber, dill and dried grapefruit peel combined with a light presence of smoke and sweet accents of honey and vanilla. Herbs and citrus peel lead to dry notes of tobacco, pepper, and olives. Delicate accents of smoke, wet earth, and butter create richness and depth. A long, robust finish features beautifully toasted corn.
