Mezcal from Oaxaca, made from espadin agave by La Tierra de Acre, this artesanal expression comes from a producer working within the traditional methods that define the category. The agave is roasted in an underground pit, then crushed and fermented before distillation, a labor-intensive process that shapes both flavor and character.
Expect the earthy, smoky backbone common to espadin mezcals, with herbal notes and a mineral quality that reflects the agave and soil. It's the kind of spirit that reveals itself slowly in a glass, equally at home neat or as the foundation for a stirred cocktail where its complexity can anchor other ingredients.
