The bold red-and-black label makes it one of the most eye-catching mezcals on the shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe espadín agaves are cooked in an underground pit oven, which gives the spirit its smoky depth, then fermented and distilled in copper pots. It is bottled unaged as a joven, so the agave and the roast speak clearly, and it carries the Denominación de Origen for mezcal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect roasted agave and gentle smoke on the nose, a palate of sweet cooked agave, citrus and black pepper with an earthy, mineral edge, and a warm, smoky finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDoña Vega Espadín is a great mezcal for sipping and mixing. Sip it slowly from a copita with orange slices and sal de gusano, or use it to give a Margarita, a Paloma or a Negroni a smoky twist. It makes a superb Oaxacan Old Fashioned with reposado tequila and agave syrup, and a Mezcal Mule with ginger beer and lime. Pair it with tacos al pastor, mole, grilled chorizo, tlayudas or dark chocolate. The striking label makes it a fun gift for agave enthusiasts and anyone curious to explore mezcal from Oaxaca.\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\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, gentle smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet cooked agave, citrus, black pepper, earthy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warm and smoky.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Doña Vega, Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Underground pit oven, copper pot distilled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven mezcal artesanal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\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 from a copita, or mix a smoky Margarita.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere is it made?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat agave is used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% espadín.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow strong is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e86 proof (43% ABV).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Doña Vega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083169034549,"sku":"VWS_200422085","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-34213.webp?v=1793993277","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/dona-vega-espadin-joven-mezcal-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
