Peloton de la Muerte Espadin Mezcal
Peloton de la Muerte Espadin Mezcal presents an authentic journey into the heart of Oaxaca's artisanal spirits tradition. Crafted from 100% Espadin agave (Agave angustifolia), this small-batch mezcal honors centuries-old production methods while delivering remarkable quality at an accessible price point.
Each batch is carefully cultivated, harvested, and distilled under the watchful eye of master mezcaleros who roast the agave hearts in earthen pits lined with volcanic rock, imparting the spirit's characteristic smokiness. After natural fermentation in wooden vats, the mezcal undergoes double distillation in traditional copper pot stills, resulting in a balanced expression that respects tradition while appealing to modern palates.
Tasting Notes:
- Appearance: Crystal clear with brilliant silver highlights.
- Nose: Opens with pronounced wisps of wood smoke and charred earth, quickly revealing layers of fresh herbs, citrus peel, and green olive. Subtle hints of tropical fruit and a mineral undercurrent develop with time in the glass.
- Palate: An inviting balance of smoke and sweetness greets the palate with roasted agave, white pepper, and green apple at the forefront. Mid-palate reveals complex notes of vanilla bean, lemon zest, and a surprising hint of cinnamon. The mouthfeel is remarkably smooth with a pleasant viscosity.
- Finish: Long and warming with lingering impressions of smoke, salt, and baked agave. A gentle spice note persists alongside a clean mineral quality that invites another sip.
Perfect for sipping neat in a traditional copita or as a robust foundation for craft cocktails, Peloton de la Muerte offers an approachable entry point into the world of artisanal mezcal without sacrificing complexity or authenticity.

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.
