Pasión Ancestral Espadín Con Café
Experience the bold and innovative spirit of Pasión Ancestral Espadín Con Café, a truly unique expression that redefines traditional mezcal. This handcrafted mezcal begins with sustainably harvested Espadín agave, cooked in an earthen oven, milled with a stone tahona, and naturally fermented before being double-distilled in traditional clay pots. But it’s during the crucial second distillation that this spirit achieves its extraordinary character.
In a nod to innovative tradition, lightly mashed, roasted coffee beans are added directly to the clay pot, acting as a "vegetarian pechuga" that infuses the spirit with a deep, rich essence. The result is a compelling marriage of smoky agave heritage and exhilarating coffee intensity. This is a mezcal for those seeking adventure in their glass—a deeply flavorful, unforgettable sip.
Tasting Notes:
- Aroma: A powerful, enticing nose of freshly roasted, dark coffee beans immediately leaps from the glass, underpinned by the classic, sweet minerality and faint smoke of the clay-pot distilled Espadín. Hints of dark chocolate and vanilla bean emerge as it opens.
- Palate: The initial sip delivers a striking, velvety coffee flavor that is very present and so, so delicious. The underlying mezcal notes of cooked agave, wet earth, and a clean, subtle smokiness beautifully balance this. The mouthfeel is surprisingly smooth and coating, with a gentle heat.
- Finish: Long, warming, and evolving. The coffee persists, morphing into a bittersweet dark cocoa note, while the Espadín leaves a clean, lasting impression of sweet smoke and baked fruit.
- Perfect For: Sipping neat to appreciate its complexity, or as the star ingredient in an intensely flavored mezcal cocktail like an Espresso Martini or a Mezcal Negroni.

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.
