The Riazul Family's Mezcal
Riazul is a tequila name — the family behind it founded their brand in 2008 — but the mezcal line, Riazuleno, goes back to the Oaxacan roots: a single estate in the foothills of San Dionisio Ocotepec, where piñas cook in conic earthen pits with hot volcanic rocks for up to three days. The Classico espadín is the line's foundation expression — joven, clear, and built on the espadín balance of fruit, smoke and mineral.

Tasting Notes
Per retailers: ripe tropical fruit, sweet agave and smoke on the nose; a slightly sweet palate of green apple and roasted agave merging with cinnamon, wet stone and mineral.
How to Enjoy
Neat to taste the estate, or in a mezcal-forward cocktail — a Naked & Famous or a smoky Margarita.
