A great way to really sample mezcal either for 1 x 100ml measure or to share.
Mezcales are normally bottled at still strength and can be very alcoholic indeed. Tequilas on the other hand are legally required to have an ABV of 40%, to achieve this a little bit of water is added. Santo de Piedra Espadín Mezcal has de mineralised water added to bring the ABV down to 40% which achieves consistency in alcohol, flavour and mouth feel. It's a little bit like adding water to whisky, it lengthens the flavours and makes for a very smooth enjoyable experience. We think this mezcal is just delicious.
