Mezcal Espadin Ancestrale 70cl - Koch

The smoky character of the agave harmonizes with herbal notes and a hint of citrus that keeps the sip fresh. On the nose there is an earthy tint that isn’t heavy, while on the palate it shows good roundness, an enveloping warmth and a cleanliness that leaves room for a lingering finish, slightly peppery and mineral. The balance between structure and freshness makes the sip immediate yet articulated, suitable for those seeking a sincere, uncontrived mezcal.

Best enjoyed at room temperature in small glasses to appreciate nuances and aromatic profiles; a few drops of water or an ice cube softens the smoke for those looking for gentleness. It pairs well with grilled meats, savory cheeses and spicy dishes, but also holds up to a convivial gathering without complications. Bottled in a 70 cl bottle, it’s a solid choice for those who want to explore the expressiveness of Espadín produced using Koch’s ancestral method.
