Gracias a Dios Mezcal Espadín Reposado (75cl, 45%)

A reposado mezcal made from 100% espadín agave, double-distilled and rested for three months in American oak barrels. The agave is cultivated for eight years, roasted in a conical earth oven, fermented in pine-wood tubs and double-distilled in a copper alembic in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. The three-month oak rest softens the smoke and adds vanilla and spice while keeping the mezcal's rustic character. It shows spiced wood, wild herbs, citrus, vanilla and cigar wrapper on the nose, with almond sweetness, sweet smoke, peppery-clove spice, fruit and oak on the palate, and a balanced, earthy finish.
