Grulani Espadin
Guélavila espadín that rewrites what entry-level should taste like
Score: 4.3/5 agaves
- Producer: Grulani Mezcal
- Maestro: Leonardo Hernandez
- Region: San Baltazar Guélavila, Oaxaca

- ABV: 46%
- Price: $70 ($)
Verdict
Grulani's espadín does at 46% what most brands can't do at 50%. If your current house-pour is Vida, Banhez, or Fidencio, this is your next step up – same agave, considerably more liquid. Buy and don't look back.

Tasting notes
Nose: A green top over cooked agave – herb, wet stone, dry citrus
Palate: 46% does more for espadín than most producers accept. Leonardo Hernandez's reads broad and savory – tahona fiber, cooked-sweet core, saline drag
Finish: Clean, warming – long
The bottom line
Buy. House-pour upgrade
