Hacienda Oponguio Espadin Mezcal

an artisanal mezcal made from 100% wild Angustifolia (Espadín) agave in Michoacán. The agave is cooked in a stone-and-brick oven with avocado and oak wood, fermented in pine vats, and double-distilled in a traditional Filipino-style alembic.

Food Pairing: Grilled octopus, roasted pork, ceviche, fresh citrus salads, and soft Mexican cheeses.

Tasting Notes: Crystal clear with moderate viscosity, offering a balanced, well-rounded mouthfeel with vibrant herbaceous undertones and subtle mineral complexity.

Nose: Cooked agave, fresh herbal notes, light pine, citrus peel, and gentle wood smoke.

Palate: Smooth and approachable, featuring notes of sweet roasted agave, green pepper, subtle citrus, and mild smoky accents.

Finish: Medium, clean finish with lingering herbal notes, gentle pepper, and soft wood smoke.

Serve: Served neat at room temperature in a traditional copita or wide-rimmed glass, or as a base in craft cocktails like a Mezcal Margarita.
