Wild Common Mezcal Ancestral Espadín is a small-batch joven mezcal made from 100% maguey espadín by maestro mezcalero Isidro Damián in Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, bottled at 47% ABV (94 proof).
As a mezcal ancestral, it is distilled in clay pots, the most traditional method.
Clay-pot distillation gives it a darker and more savoury profile than standard artisanal mezcals.
Wild Common's label notes 'nothing added', and the brand shows the maker and village on every bottle.
It is a fine way to taste how the ancestral method transforms familiar espadín, and a thoughtful gift for a mezcal lover.
