The distillation process takes place in small copper stills, ensuring a slow transformation that preserves the aromatic and gustatory complexity. On the nose, intense notes of sweet smoke are perceived, accompanied by balsamic nuances and mineral hints. On the palate, the structure is enveloping, with tones of spices, citrus, and a slight soft and persistent aftertaste. The finish is long and pleasantly clean, enhancing the balance between power and delicacy.
Ideal to taste neat or with a touch of lime and salt, the Mezcal Alberto Ortiz Espadin pairs magnificently with dishes from Mexican cuisine such as tacos or ceviche, but also finds a place in sophisticated cocktails thanks to its unique aroma. An authentic and engaging experience, a true ambassador of the Oaxaca territory.
