Perro Verde Espadín is an award-winning, additive-free artisanal mezcal and the gateway expression of the Perro Verde range, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 700ml bottle.
The brand takes its name from the Spanish idiom más raro que un perro verde, rarer than a green dog, and embraces unconventional, small-batch spirit production.
It is a gentle yet interesting sipping mezcal. The nose is crisp, with a punch of roasted agave, lime and mint. On the palate comes a delicate, balanced combination of yellow apples and exotic fruits with a smoky touch, alongside coriander seed and nuts, and the finish is mellow with a hint of spice.
Fresh and approachable, it makes a fine gift for anyone discovering mezcal.
Sip it slowly from a copita, or mix it into a mezcal margarita.
Mezcal 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.
Mezcal 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.
