Erstwhile Espadin 750 ml

Erstwhile Espadin is a mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made from 100% Espadin agave using traditional production: pit-roasting the agave pinas, then crushing, wild fermentation, and distillation in small batches. Espadin is the most widely planted agave for mezcal, prized for reaching maturity faster than wild varieties while still delivering real smoke and agave character. Expect smoke up front, giving way to cooked agave sweetness, citrus, and a light mineral, earthy edge, all unclouded by wood since it's bottled unaged. It's built to represent classic Oaxacan mezcal-making rather than a novelty or heavily marketed crossover release. This bottle suits mezcal drinkers who want a straightforward, well-made Espadin as a reference point.

How to drink Erstwhile Espadin

Sip it neat in small pours the traditional way, with orange slices and a pinch of sal de gusano on the side. It also works as a smokier alternative to tequila in a Mezcal Margarita.
