Wild Shot Silver

Wild Shot Silver is an espadín mezcal from Wild Shot Mezcal, a brand co-founded by musician and mezcal enthusiast Robert Trujillo. The agave is roasted in earthen pits and distilled in small batches in Oaxaca, giving a joven-style spirit that keeps a clear, unaged character. Expect a smoky, earthy nose up front, a palate of roasted agave and citrus, and a dry, lightly smoky finish. It's built to be a straightforward, mixable mezcal rather than a sipping rarity, and it shows well in anything that calls for a smoky backbone.

How to drink Wild Shot Silver

Great in a mezcal margarita or a smoky paloma where its roasted-agave character can stand up to citrus and salt. Serve chilled or over ice rather than neat.
