Montelobos Espadin Mezcal (70cl)

A mezcal made from wild Espadin agave grown in the mountainous regions of Oaxaca, Mexico. The agave is cooked slowly in stone-lined underground pits, then crushed and fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts before distillation in small copper stills. It is clear in the glass and shows cooked agave, damp earth and light smoke on the nose. The palate is soft, with smoky, earthy, black pepper and aromatic herb notes. The finish is long and persistent, continuing to evolve.
