FIDENCIO ESPADIN MEZCAL 750ML

Fidencio Mezcal Espadin is a traditional artisanal Oaxacan mezcal made from 100% Espadín (Agave angustifolia)grown on the Jiménez family estate in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. It reflects generations of mezcal‑making tradition under Maestro Enrique Jiménez, using time‑honored methods like slow roasting in earthen pits and wild fermentation.

Description

1. Type: Mezcal (joven / unaged) made from estate‑grown Espadín agave.
2. Production: Agave hearts are slowly roasted in a traditional earthen pit with volcanic rock and black oak, crushed (often with a tahona), fermented with native yeasts, and double‑distilled in copper stills — a process that creates depth of flavor and authentic character.
3. Color: Clear and crystalline, typical of joven mezcal.
4. Aroma: Warm and inviting with notes of sweet roasted agave, spun sugar, cherry, and green apple.
5. Taste: Balanced and expressive with bright red fruit, roasted agave, pink peppercorn spice, and subtle earthy/mineral elements.
6. Texture & Finish: Medium‑bodied with a slightly oily mouthfeel and a lingering spice and warm finish that’s both smooth and lively.
7. Alcohol: Typically around 40% ABV.

Style & Pairing

This mezcal emphasizes a traditional, smoky yet balanced profile — ideal for sipping neat in a copita or enjoying in smoky‑forward mezcal cocktails like a Mezcal Negroni or Mezcal Mule. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, citrus‑spiced dishes, and earthy foods like mushrooms or charred vegetables.
