It proudly wears its youth, unaged and fresh, ready to impart its vibrant character to every sip, and it is less smoky than many traditional Espadíns, making it approachable for those who find heavy smoke overpowering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAromas of cooked agave, green apple and mesquite wood lead to a palate of roasted agave, caramel, subtle smoke and earthy undertones, with touches of citrus zest and minerality, finishing long, warm and semi-sweet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe botanical-print label makes it a striking gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEspadín is the most widely cultivated agave for mezcal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it with orange slices and sal de gusano.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cooked agave, green apple, mesquite.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, caramel, subtle smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warm, semi-sweet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aldez\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven mezcal artesanal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heart cut of the second run\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 proof (44% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat or use it in mezcal cocktails like a Mezcal Margarita or Paloma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it very smoky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is gentler than many Espadíns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is unaged and fresh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it taste?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCooked agave, green apple, caramel and subtle smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aldez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023603921205,"sku":"VWS200428089","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-24964.webp?v=1793662758","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/aldez-mezcal-espadin-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
