Amateco Espadin Agave Spirit - Wild Madrecuixe Edition
Experience the untamed essence of Oaxaca with Amateco Espadin Agave Spirit, crafted from the rare and wild Madrecuixe agave. This distinctive spirit, bottled at a robust 47% ABV, is a testament to the unique terroir of the Oaxacan mountains and the patient artistry of traditional mezcal production.
Sourced from the Karwinskii species, the Madrecuixe agave stands tall and slender, drawing vital minerals from the rocky, mountainous soils where it thrives. These wild agaves require up to 15 years to reach full maturity, a slow and deliberate growth that concentrates their inherent flavors, resulting in a mezcal of exceptional complexity and depth.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: Opens with a vibrant earthiness, reminiscent of damp soil and sun-baked stones. Delicate herbal notes of fresh cut grass and perhaps a hint of eucalyptus intertwine with bright citrus nuances of lime zest and grapefruit peel. A subtle whisper of smoke adds intrigue.
- Palate: The palate unfolds with a captivating interplay of flavors. The earthy character deepens, balanced by a refreshing minerality that speaks to its mountainous origins. Layers of herbal complexity emerge, with hints of sage and rosemary. The citrus notes become more pronounced, offering a zesty counterpoint to the spirit's grounding elements.
- A smooth, lingering finish leaves a pleasant warmth and a subtle echo of its wild heritage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
