Classic Oaxacan Espadín, Liter Bottle
Chinicuil keeps to the old ways: agave hearts slow-roasted underground over hot stones, wild fermentation in open vats, and copper-pot distillation that preserves the spirit's rustic character. Espadín is the workhorse agave of Oaxaca — and in Chinicuil's hands it delivers the textbook blanco profile that mezcal lovers reach for.

Tasting Notes
Clean wood smoke over sweet roasted agave, with green herbs, citrus peel and wet earth. Medium-bodied and honest — the smoke never overwhelms the agave sweetness, finishing dry and peppery.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat at room temperature in a veladora or copita to catch the full arc from smoke to sweetness. It is also a superb mezcal for cocktails — the liter bottle and 40% ABV make it a workhorse for smoky margaritas and Oaxacan Old Fashioneds.
