Discover the authentic character of La Medida Espadín Mezcal 750ml, an artisanal mezcal handcrafted in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, the heart of Mexico's mezcal tradition. Produced by a family of fourth-generation mezcaleros using time-honored techniques, this small-batch expression showcases the pure, complex flavors of 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia) without additives or shortcuts.
Fully mature Espadín agaves are harvested by hand and slowly roasted in traditional underground earthen pit ovens fueled by local wood, developing deep smoky complexity while preserving the agave's natural sweetness. The cooked agaves are crushed using a traditional stone tahona pulled by horse, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats with native wild yeast, and double-distilled in small copper pot stills. Every bottle reflects the craftsmanship and terroir that have defined Oaxacan mezcal for generations.
The nose opens with aromas of roasted agave, fresh citrus, grilled pineapple, wild herbs, damp earth, and gentle campfire smoke. On the palate, layers of sweet cooked agave, tropical fruit, lime zest, black pepper, minerality, and subtle smoke unfold with remarkable balance and texture. The finish is long, clean, and elegant, leaving lingering notes of roasted agave, herbal spice, citrus, and delicate smoke.
Whether enjoyed neat in a traditional copita or paired with fine cuisine, La Medida Espadín Mezcal offers an authentic introduction to handcrafted Oaxacan mezcal and is equally rewarding for seasoned mezcal enthusiasts.
