Santo de Piedra Mezcal Espadín - 100ml Taster

Santo de Piedra Mezcal Espadín 70cl

From mezcalreviews.com GreenspointTexas'Def get a smoothness that usually isn't present in wilder agaves. Like others have said, very mineral, clean, slightly sweet and floral. Not much smoke, almost borders on a complex blanco tequila.'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 demineralised water added to bring the ABV down to 40% which achieves consistency in alcohol, flavour and mouthfeel. 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.NOM: 0493 xAroma: wet stone after the rain, forestPalate: very mineral, clean, slightly sweet and floral, mild smoke, smooth and elegantGood for: sippingInteresting fact: the bottle is made of recycled glassMaguey (Agave): espadín (Agave angustifolia), 8-10 year oldRegion: San Luis del Río, a small village located in the borderlands between the Southern Mountains of Oaxaca and the Tehuantepec IsthmusOven type: Extraction method: Fermentation: in oak vatsStill type: copperABV: 40%
