Process & Production

Cava De Oro Espadín Mezcal is crafted using traditional artisanal production methods that have defined mezcal for generations. Mature Espadín agaves are harvested at peak ripeness before being slow-roasted in underground earthen pit ovens, developing the rich roasted agave character and signature smoky notes associated with authentic mezcal.

After cooking, the agaves are crushed, naturally fermented, and carefully distilled to preserve the vibrant flavors of the agave while producing a smooth, balanced spirit. Bottled at 42% ABV, this expression offers additional richness and complexity while maintaining exceptional drinkability.

What Makes It Special

Crafted exclusively from 100% Espadín agave, Cava De Oro Espadín Mezcal offers an approachable yet authentic expression of traditional Oaxacan mezcal.
