Divino Blanco

40% Matatlán espadín with a divine name and no substance

Score: 1.5/5 agaves

Divino Blanco bottle
  • Producer: Divino Mezcal
  • Region: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Espadin
  • ABV: 40%
  • Price: $45 ($)

Verdict

Divino is a bottle that populates the bottom shelf of liquor stores looking for 'premium mezcal' at supermarket prices. No named maestro, 40% proof, a brand identity built around the name alone. Skip without hesitation; Banhez costs the same and respects both its producer and its drinker. The mezcal renaissance is not a reason to buy every bottle.

Divine in name only

Tasting notes

Nose: Sweet cooked agave with light smoke

Palate: 40% ABV, undisclosed maestro, Matatlán espadín – the bottle sits like a marketing-driven product rather than a producer's expression

Finish: Sugary – short

The bottom line

Skip. Banhez exists and costs the same
