Introducing Wahaka Joven Mezcal Espadín, a masterful expression of traditional mezcal that will elevate your tasting experience. This unaged mezcal captures the essence of estate-farmed Espadín agave, grown and nurtured exclusively on our estate for 7-8 years. Whether you enjoy it straight or mixed in a cocktail, the harmony of smoke and sweetness is the perfect introduction to the world of mezcal.
Sourced from the diverse soils, terrains, and altitudes of San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca, in the district of Tlacolula, our Espadín agave benefits from the region's unique environment, which lends the mezcal its distinct flavor profile.
At Wahaka, we honor the time-tested methods of mezcal production. Our agave is cooked for 3-5 days in an earthen pit, using ocote (pine) wood, which imparts its signature smoky flavor. The cooked agave is then crushed with a tahona, a circular millstone, extracting its precious juices. The spirit undergoes fermentation for 10-12 days in pine vats, using wild yeast native to the region. Finally, our mezcal is twice distilled in copper stills to achieve a perfectly balanced, refined taste.
With no aging, Wahaka Joven Mezcal Espadín proudly showcases the pure essence of the Espadín agave. Its vibrant flavors and captivating aromas make it an ideal choice for sipping or mixing in your favorite cocktails.
Embark on your mezcal journey with Wahaka Joven Mezcal Espadín – a true celebration of the traditional mezcal-making craft.

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.
