Trascendente Espadín is an artisanal joven mezcal from Oaxaca's Tlacolula Valley, made from 100% Espadín agave by third-generation mezcaleros and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
Mezcal Trascendente is produced in the Tlacolula Valley, considered one of the purest places to harvest agave in Oaxaca. It is made from 100% agave with no sugars or preservatives, naturally fermented with wild yeasts and double distilled in copper stills, using traditional small-batch methods and sustainable agave practices. The brand honors the hummingbird, which pollinates the magueys of Oaxaca and is considered a messenger of good wishes, and supports hummingbird conservation.
Expect a smooth, balanced joven with subtle smoke and minerality over cooked agave.
The hummingbird label makes it a thoughtful gift for mezcal fans.
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.
Espadín is the most widely cultivated agave in Oaxaca.
Joven mezcal shows the agave's character most clearly.
