The flagship mezcal artesanal of El Buho’s line, this Espadin has a light roast and smoke to its nose. Medium in body with pronounced notes of caramel, red apple and coffee, this Espadin is perfect for cocktails or enjoyed on its own. Spanish for the ‘sword,’ the Espadin agave has long been cultivated due to its vitality, high sugar content and short lifecycle. These agaves mature around 7 to 10 years in age, which is one of the shortest maturation cycles of the 30 to 40 varietals commonly used to make mezcal. Aroma : Light roast, vanilla. Color : Crystal clear. Small and tightly grouped perlas. Taste : Caramel, red apple, salt. Finish : Roasted agave, coffee.
