Palomo Mezcal Espadin Joven Review
Though fairly muted on the nose, this mezcal delivers an intense concentration of classic Espadín flavors on the palate. Its assertive 46 percent ABV and affordable MSRP — $40 for a 1-liter bottle — make Palomo an excellent option for Oaxaca Old Fashioneds, Mezcal Negronis, and beyond.
