Mezcalosfera Espadin con Café

Espadín distilled with coffee – a morning-and-night bottle

Score: 4.0/5 agaves

Mezcalosfera Espadin con Café bottle
  • Producer: Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca
  • Maestro: Margarito Cortés
  • Region: Miahuatlán, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Espadin
  • ABV: 47.11%
  • Price: $70 ($)

Verdict

The coffee analog to the cacao release, and similarly successful – Margarito Cortés distills with Oaxacan coffee beans rather than flavoring after the fact, and the result drinks as a properly integrated bottle rather than a gimmick. Pour it alongside the cacao release for a flavored-distillation flight.

Coffee-distilled espadín lands like espresso after the kitchen closed

Tasting notes

Nose: Dark-roast coffee bean. Then cooked agave, toasted cane, faint smoke

Palate: 47.11% with the coffee integrated through distillation – the bean's character shows as a deep bitter spine rather than a flavor addition, and Cortés's espadín keeps its shape

Finish: Coffee-bitter, mineral. Long

The bottom line

Worth the hunt for the pechuga-adjacent flight
