Hey there, mezcal enthusiast! Let me tell you about this incredible bottle of liquid gold we've got here - Tomas Artesanal Traditional Espadin.
Picture this: You're in Santa Ana del Rio, a tiny village tucked away in the heart of Oaxaca, Mexico. It's the kind of place where time seems to slow down, and traditions are kept alive through generations. That's where this beauty comes from.
Now, let's talk about what makes this mezcal so special. It's crafted with 100% agave Espadín, the rockstar of the agave world. These plants take their sweet time - we're talking 8 years - to reach perfect maturity. But trust me, it's worth the wait.
The process? It's like a beautiful dance of tradition and nature. They cook the agave in earthen pit ovens, giving it that subtle smokiness that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance. Then, picture a horse-drawn stone tahona slowly crushing the cooked agave - yeah, they keep it old school here.
But wait, there's more! The fermentation is where things get really interesting. They let the wild yeasts that naturally hang out in the air do their thing. It's like inviting the local microbes to the party, and boy, do they bring some unique flavors to the table.
After that, it's double distilled in copper stills, because why settle for one round when you can have two? This process gives you a mezcal that's mildly smoky, full-bodied, and bursting with fruity, agave-forward notes. It's like a fiesta in your mouth!
The mastermind behind this liquid artistry? None other than Maestro Mezcalero Roque Cruz. This guy knows his stuff, and his expertise shines through in every sip.
At 42% ABV, it's got just the right kick to make things interesting without knocking your socks off. And hey, it's a joven (young) mezcal, so you're tasting it in its purest, most vibrant form.
So, next time you're in the mood for something special, reach for this bottle. It's not just a drink; it's a journey to a small Oaxacan village, a taste of tradition, and a whole lot of craftsmanship in every pour. Salud!

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.
