Espadín

• Espadín (Agave angustifolia)
• Maturation: 8-10 Years
• Cultivated locally in San Dionisio Ocotepec
• Rested for 3 months before bottling

Sweet aromas of caramel and cream as well as spice with soft smoke.  These sweet and soft notes carry through the full taste while welcoming a subtle minerality. Hints of berries, caramel, orange zest, and cream soda delight the palate.

Subtle smoke, sweet, and very balanced for easy sipping at 47% ABV.

Stories from the Palenque

Local custom says that after the land is prepared and the baby espadín magueyitos (baby agave pups) are cleaned and ready for planting, a female turkey must be sacrificed.

The turkey blood is used to water the very first magueyito that is planted.  This ensures the agave will generate future magueyitos, and therefore guarantee future crops. 

After using the blood of the turkey, the meat is used to prepare a delicious creole turkey broth. This is shared in the field before starting to sow the remaining baby espadín plants.
