Description

Peloton de la Muerte Espadin Mezcal

Peloton de la Muerte Espadin Mezcal presents an authentic journey into the heart of Oaxaca’s artisanal spirits tradition. Crafted from 100% Espadin agave (Agave angustifolia), this small-batch mezcal honors centuries-old production methods while delivering remarkable quality at an accessible price point.

Each batch is carefully cultivated, harvested, and distilled under the watchful eye of master mezcaleros who roast the agave hearts in earthen pits lined with volcanic rock, imparting the spirit’s characteristic smokiness. After natural fermentation in wooden vats, the mezcal undergoes double distillation in traditional copper pot stills, resulting in a balanced expression that respects tradition while appealing to modern palates.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Crystal clear with brilliant silver highlights.
• Nose: Opens with pronounced wisps of wood smoke and charred earth, quickly revealing layers of fresh herbs, citrus peel, and green olive. Subtle hints of tropical fruit and a mineral undercurrent develop with time in the glass.
• Palate: An inviting balance of smoke and sweetness greets the palate with roasted agave, white pepper, and green apple at the forefront. Mid-palate reveals complex notes of vanilla bean, lemon zest, and a surprising hint of cinnamon. The mouthfeel is remarkably smooth with a pleasant viscosity.
• Finish: Long and warming with lingering impressions of smoke, salt, and baked agave. A gentle spice note persists alongside a clean mineral quality that invites another sip.

Perfect for sipping neat in a traditional copita or as a robust foundation for craft cocktails, Peloton de la Muerte offers an approachable entry point into the world of artisanal mezcal without sacrificing complexity or authenticity.
