Mezcal Vago Espadin Emigdio Jarquin Review

This Espadín, produced in Miahuatlan, Oaxaca by maestro mezcalero Emigdio Jarquin Ramirez, is a beautiful, traditionally-made mezcal: tahona crushed and distilled on a copper refrescadera still. There’s an interesting bready/malty note on the nose you don’t usually find in mezcal, while the palate is more of the expected flavors of Espadín — citrusy, a bit earthy, a touch of smoke. An entry-level sipper or a stellar cocktail ingredient, you choose.
