Complice Espadin "Ignacio Martinez" Artesenal San Dionisio Ocotepec Oaxacan Mezcal (750ml) (Previously $50)

From the palenque of Mezcalero Ignacio Martinez in the tiny town of San Dionisio Ocotepec, the Complice Espadin celebrates the generations of Mezcaleros who've based down their knowledge to create the special spirit of Mexico. The espadin that Ingacio uses is matured for 8-10 years before being roasted over mesquite and encino wood in a river-stone lined underground oven. Crushed by horse drawn tahona and double distilled on small copper pots, it's adjusted with water to 90 proof. Pungent nose of strawberry, citrus oil and earthy spice, the texture is creamy and rich with hints of smoky mesquite and plenty of sweet fruit.
