Verdict
Mezcasiarca Espadín is the bottle to pour for anyone who thinks they know what espadín tastes like, the clay-pot distillation produces a profile genuinely distinct from copper-distilled espadín, and the full-proof presentation lets the technique show. A reference for clay-pot espadín and one of the stronger Mezcasiarca releases.
Espadín you thought you knew – run through a clay pot and returned a stranger
Tasting notes
Nose: Earthen clay, then cooked agave, wet stone, a clean smoke
Palate: ~50% with espadín picking up the clay-pot's earthen, mineral accent, the result is weightier, more geological, less tropical than copper-distilled espadín
Finish: Mineral, earthen, long
The bottom line
Track it down. Reference clay-pot espadín
