Madre Espadin Mezcal

Madre Espadin Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal that captures the authentic spirit of Oaxaca through traditional production methods and the most widely cultivated agave variety, Espadin. Crafted by skilled mezcaleros using techniques passed down through generations, this mezcal showcases the versatility and approachable character that has made Espadin the foundation of quality mezcal production. The agaves are harvested at peak maturity, roasted in underground earthen pits, crushed by traditional tahona stone wheel, fermented naturally, and distilled in small copper pot stills to preserve the full expression of the agave and terroir. The result is a beautifully balanced mezcal that honors Oaxacan tradition while offering an accessible entry point for those new to mezcal and satisfying depth for experienced enthusiasts.

On the nose, Madre Espadin reveals inviting aromas of gentle smoke, roasted agave, and subtle hints of citrus and earth. The palate delivers a smooth, well-rounded experience with flavors of cooked agave sweetness, light smoke, and herbal notes complemented by touches of tropical fruit and mineral character. The finish is clean and warming with lingering smokiness and agave that invites another sip. The balanced smoke profile makes it versatile enough to enjoy neat, on the rocks, or as an elevated base for cocktails like mezcal margaritas, palomas, or smoky old fashioneds. Whether you're exploring mezcal for the first time, looking for a reliable mixing mezcal that doesn't sacrifice quality, or seeking an everyday sipper that celebrates traditional craftsmanship, Madre Espadin offers authentic Oaxacan character at an approachable price point that makes it a staple for any well-stocked bar.
