Classic Matatlán Espadín, Bottled Young
Mestizo's joven is textbook espadín from mezcal's most famous town. The agave is roasted, crushed, and fermented in the traditional manner, then double-distilled in copper and bottled without oak contact — so what lands in the glass is pure cooked-agave character: mesquite smoke, roasted pecan, cooked ripe peach, citrus, and pepper, with a delicate smoky finish. A Double Gold winner at the 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition. See more Mestizo mezcals or compare expressions in the mezcal collection.
Tasting Notes
Sweet and flowery on the nose with spice notes; the palate layers mesquite smoke over mushroom, roasted pecan, and cooked peach, with citrus and pepper lift and a cream-vanilla softness underneath. Long, smoky finish.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat at room temperature in a copita or small glass to catch the smoke and fruit. It also makes a superb smoky base for a mezcal margarita or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned.
