Mezcal Joven Espadin Artesanal is born in a small mezcaleria particularly appreciated by the most attentive and demanding enthusiasts of Mexican distillates. El Rey Zapoteco is a brand that has managed to preserve and enhance the ancient savoir-faire of the Oaxaca region, one of the most famous in the country for the production of great Mezcal. The process begins with the manual cutting of adult plants of the prized Espadìn agave variety. Once the leaves are removed, the heart of the plant is cooked in an underground oven made of bricks and stone, which maintains a constant temperature. The pulp of the heart of the agave is then crushed with a stone mill and started to ferment. The juice of the agave is thus ready for distillation, which takes place in two successive steps, using the traditional discontinuous copper stills, which guarantee remarkable expressive finesse.
The Mezcal Artesanal Joven Espadin made by El Rey Zapoteco is a great Mezcal produced with care, artisanal passion, and direct control of all phases of production, from the cultivation of the agave to the bottling. It is the result of small batch distillation, which allows maintaining an absolute level of quality. In the glass, it is transparent, pure, and crystalline. The bouquet is particularly refined, with floral nuances, fragrant vegetal sensations of freshly cut agave, medicinal herbs, aromas of citrus, white-fleshed fruit, delicate spicy hints, and slightly smoky notes. The entry on the palate is soft and harmonious, with a rich and smooth sip, finishing on fresh and pleasantly balsamic notes.
