Caminitos Espadin con Coco y Pina
Wilfredo García distills espadín with coconut and pineapple, a tropical pechuga
Score: 4.0/5 agaves

- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 50.9%

Verdict
The fruit pechuga can slide into novelty fast, and coconut plus pineapple sounds like a warning. Wilfredo García earns it by keeping the espadín base loud enough to argue back, so the tropical notes read as seasoning rather than syrup. Pour it for the skeptic who thinks flavored mezcal is a gimmick; this is the bottle that moves the bet.
A piña colada that never forgets it is mezcal
Tasting notes
Nose: Toasted coconut, grilled pineapple, baked agave, warm vanilla, faint smoke
Palate: Round and warm at 50.9%. Coconut gives a creamy edge, pineapple a bright acid, espadín keeping it anchored to mezcal rather than dessert
Finish: Long, toasty, gently sweet
The bottom line
Pour it to win the flavored-pechuga argument
