The Espadín uses eight-year-old cultivated agave, roasted in underground pits, crushed, naturally fermented and distilled twice in copper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA slight smokiness and spice open the glass, with apple, pear, cinnamon and fall spices on the aroma. The palate turns fruity, with earthy agave, citrus and wood smoke and a mild astringency, ending dry and spiced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA well-balanced mezcal for newcomers and seasoned fans alike.\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\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light smoke, apple, pear, cinnamon.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthy agave, citrus, wood smoke, fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry and spiced.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gracias a Dios\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMezcalero:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oscar Hernández\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín, eight years old\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Underground pit roast, natural fermentation, double copper distillation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 proof (45% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santiago Matatlán, 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 with orange slices, or mix a Mezcal Margarita or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned.\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, the heart of mezcal production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMezcalero Oscar Hernández, an equal partner in the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow smoky is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGently: a light smokiness with fruit, spice and earthy agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gracias a Dios","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023608148277,"sku":"VWS_200423411","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-26199.webp?v=1793662998","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/gracias-a-dios-espadin-joven-mezcal-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
