Lalocura Espadin 750 ml

Lalocura Espadin is an artisanal mezcal from a small-batch producer in Oaxaca, made from Espadin agave, the most widely cultivated agave for mezcal and the variety most producers start with. The agave hearts are traditionally roasted in an earthen pit before being crushed, fermented, and distilled, a process that gives artisanal mezcal its smoky, earthy character. Expect roasted agave sweetness, campfire smoke, and a mineral, slightly vegetal edge on the palate, with a long, warming finish. This is a mezcal for people who want the traditional pit-roasted style rather than a lighter, industrially produced version.

How to drink Lalocura Espadin

Sip it neat in small pours alongside orange slices and sal de gusano, the traditional way to let the smoke and agave develop between sips.
