Borroso Mezcal Espadín Review

Here's a 100 percent Espadín mezcal that's both great for sipping but also shines in cocktails due to its assertive alcohol content (49 percent ABV). It boasts a citrusy and herbaceous profile, and perfumed nose. The fact that the price listed is for a 1-liter bottle further improves the value of this release, which should be a staple on your bar cart.
