Trascendente Mezcal Artesanal Joven Espadín Premium is a craft mezcal made from 100% Espadín agave in Oaxaca's Tlacolula Valley, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) in a 700ml bottle.
It is produced by third-generation mezcaleros in the Tlacolula Valley, considered one of the purest places to harvest agave in the state, with no sugars or preservatives added. The agave is cooked in a volcanic stone oven with sweet wood, fermented wild, and double distilled in copper stills. The hummingbird on the label honors the bird that pollinates Oaxaca's magueys and is considered a messenger of good wishes.
The mezcal has an herbal-floral character with a refreshing citric touch. Cooked agave with delicate caramel notes and a saline touch leads to subtle mineral flavors and hints of citrus, followed by a delicate smoky touch and an elegant finish. It is balanced, with a silky body.
It makes a thoughtful gift for mezcal newcomers.
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.
