Catedral Espadin

San Pablo Etla Villa espadín – a village Catedral bottles rarely

Score: 3.0/5 agaves

Catedral Espadin bottle
  • 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.

San Pablo Etla is a quiet Oaxaca village
