Topanito Mezcal Artesanal 100% Espadín is a unique spirit that is produced with an emphasis on traditional methods and authenticity in the heart of the Mexican state of Oaxaca, known for its rich history of mezcal production.
The production process:
Collection and preparation: The agave Espadín used for this mezcal is carefully selected and harvested when it reaches a minimum age of seven years. These plants are hand trimmed and prepared for the next step of production.
Roasting: The agave hearts are then roasted for 5 to 8 days in traditional earth pits, giving them their characteristic smoky and earthy flavour.
Crushing and fermentation: After roasting, the agave is crushed in a traditional Tahona mill, which is powered by a donkey. The resulting mash is then fermented by wild yeasts in wooden or stone vats, turning it into agave wine.
Distillation and dilution: The wine is distilled twice and the distillate is diluted with natural spring water to achieve a final strength of 52% alcohol.
Aroma: Intense and rich, with notes of grilled peppers, rosemary and roasted agave complemented by nuances of smoke.
Taste: A distinctive and full flavour profile reflects the high alcohol concentration, with notes of rosemary, chilli and roasted bread adding complexity and depth.
Recommendation: This mezcal is ideal for neat consumption or diluted with a few drops of water, but also excels as a base for sophisticated mezcal cocktails.
Topanito Mezcal Artesanal 100% Espadín bottle is designed to reflect the traditional and handmade nature of the production. The elegant and robust glass bottle with clear labelling highlights the premium quality of this product.
Topanito Mezcal Artesanal 100% Espadín is not only a testament to the rich mezcal tradition, but also to a modern approach to production that maintains respect for history and craftsmanship. It is an excellent choice for those looking for an authentic and distinctive mezcal capable of conveying an unforgettable taste experience.
