Agua Santa Angustifolia
Agua Santa's standard espadín – cleanly made
Score: 3.5/5 agaves
- Producer: Agua Santa Mezcal
- Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 42%
- Price: $48 ($)
Verdict
Agua Santa's entry espadín is the reliable floor, the value proposition sits in the wild-agave range above it, and this bottle exists to support the climb rather than end it. At 42% the Matatlán profile reads legibly if a shade underpowered. A working house espadín; buy up the range to see what the producer can actually do.
An espadín that shows the producer's hand
Tasting notes
Nose: A faint citrus, soft smoke
Palate: Clean and balanced, a shade low-proof for the best aromatics
Finish: Medium-long, dry, clean
The bottom line
A credible Agua Santa pick
