Pasion Ancestral Espadín Negra Mezcal 750ml

Agave: A. karwinskii

Region: Santa Catarina Minas, Oaxaca

Altitude: 5,052 ft / 1,540 m

Maestro Mezcalero: Alexis Canales Angeles

Grind: Hand-chopped with a mallet

Fermentation: Open air wooden fermentation tanks

Distillation: Clay-pot distilled

Nose: A lively and expressive bouquet dominated by green and herbal notes. Expect hints of pine, spearmint, cucumber water, and fresh-cut grass, beautifully balanced with a faint, savory minerality or wet clay. Subtle cooked agave sweetness and a touch of brown sugar may also be present.

Palate: The texture is often described as rich and velvety. The flavor profile is a dynamic interplay of vegetal brightness (green bell pepper, jalapeño), salinity, and complex sweetness (caramel, fig, or dark cherry). Distinct notes of roasted agave, spice, and earth are layered with the mineral influence of the clay pot distillation.

Finish: Long, warming, and clean. It often concludes with a memorable smoky-mineral linger, notes of peppery spice, and a lingering herbal freshness that encourages the next sip.
