This smoky, peppery mezcal sure packs a punch! While remaining entirely organic in its fermentation, espadín agaves are crushed and naturally fermented within the spirit. The nose provides a spicy, roasted jalapeno scent which provides a smoky flavor balance throughout the palette.

Fun fact: Production begins with cooking the agave for three days in an underground oven, lined with lava rocks. The notes are almost burnt tasting, yet with aromas of milk, greens, and yogurt. While remaining a touch sweet, it still has a lively bitter lingering!

If you’re a fan of the pure alcohol flavor, you’ll enjoy this bad boy. With how strong it is, you’d think it should have a skull & crossbones on the front. Very alcohol-dominating at the first taste, but slowly finishes with a mix of fruit, nut, and spice balance. A very unique beverage that starts with a kick and ends on a lighter note.
