Mezcal Vago Espadín By Joel Barriga Review
Arriving at a fairly punchy 50.3 percent ABV, this Espadín kicks off with a bang. The alcohol content adds depth and intensifies the concentration of flavors and aromas, which range from botanical flowers to scorched earth and bright tropical fruit. This is a complex, sipping mezcal that crescendos with a smoky finish and a creamy corn note. Don't be afraid to take it for a spin in cocktails either!
