Wahaka Mezcal Espadin Joven 750 ml

Wahaka Mezcal Espadín Joven is made in San Dionisio Ocotepec, in the heart of Oaxaca's Central Valley, using traditional palenque methods: the agave hearts are roasted in an underground earthen pit, crushed with a stone tahona pulled by a horse or mule, fermented in wood or stone vats, and double-distilled in copper stills. It's 100% espadín agave, the most widely cultivated agave for mezcal because it matures faster than wild varieties, and the joven designation means it's unaged and bottled clear. Expect the smoke from pit-roasting up front, with mineral and citrus notes underneath — a genuinely traditional profile from a brand that's built its reputation on sticking to old methods.

How to drink Wahaka Espadín Joven

Sip it neat with orange slices and a pinch of sal de gusano, the traditional Oaxacan pairing. It also makes a proper Mezcal Margarita if you'd rather mix it than sip it straight.
