Wild Common Espadin Mezcal Ancestral

From the remote hillsides of Sola de Vega, Oaxaca, Wild Common Espadin Mezcal Ancestral is a testament to tradition and terroir, brought to life by Maestro Mezcalero Isidro Damián. This is not a mezcal made for the casual drinker—it’s an experience crafted with soul, patience, and clay. Every drop begins in the dark, volcanic soil where Espadín agaves are cultivated until maturity, then roasted in underground earthen pits, crushed by hand using wooden mallets, fermented naturally in open-air pine vats, and twice-distilled in small clay pot stills.

The result is a spirit that clings to the tongue with a rich, oily mouthfeel and delivers a layered profile both earthy and refined. Notes of dark chocolate, leather, damp tobacco leaves, and cacao rise first, followed by a clean wave of bright citrus and the smoky sweetness of slow-roasted agave. This mezcal doesn’t shout—it smolders. Each sip offers a glimpse into generations of Oaxacan craftsmanship.

Best sipped slowly and neat, Wild Common Espadin Ancestral is mezcal for those who appreciate the raw beauty of the old ways. It’s unfiltered, unhurried, and unforgettable. Whether you're an aficionado or a curious newcomer, this joven-class ancestral mezcal rewards mindful drinking and deep respect for tradition.
