Nose

Incredibly floral and bright with rich aromas of roses and wet leather.

Taste

This is such a nice expression of an espadín and yet another bottle that gives the lie to idea that espadín can’t be expressive on its own. Clearly José Alberto Pablo knows how to coax amazing mezcals from it. It has a very light body with flavors of leather, banana, and clove.
