Catedral Espadin
San Pablo Etla Villa espadín – a village Catedral bottles rarely
Score: 3.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Catedral Mezcal
- Maestro: Jorge Octavio Cardaz Cualtamirano
- Region: San Pablo Etla Villa, Oaxaca
- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 46%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
San Pablo Etla is a quieter Oaxacan village – Catedral bottles it rarely, Del Maguey doesn't bottle it at all. The espadín at 46% delivers the village's cleaner, more mineral profile without specialty-importer pricing. Terroir conversations still have room to grow at this price tier; buy village bottles like this one to hold that ground.
