Wild, expressive, and deeply traditional, Cinco Sentidos Cucharilla con Espadín Mezcal is a rare artisanal mezcal that showcases the complexity and biodiversity of Oaxaca’s agave traditions. Bottled at 49.6% ABV (99.2 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this small-batch expression combines cultivated Espadín with wild Cucharilla agave, creating a mezcal layered with earthy minerality, herbal complexity, and vibrant smoke.

Production & Agave

Crafted in Oaxaca by a traditional mezcalero using ancestral production methods, this expression blends wild Cucharilla agave with Espadín, balancing rustic intensity with approachable structure. The agaves are roasted in underground earthen pits, naturally fermented, and distilled in small traditional stills, preserving the authentic character of the agave and terroir.

Cucharilla is a less commonly seen wild agave varietal prized for its distinctive herbal and savory qualities, while Espadín contributes balance, sweetness, and texture to the final blend.
