THE BATCH

This small batch of Espadín (Agave angustifolia) takes about five to seven years to reach full maturity. The agave is cooked in an underground pit oven, then cut with a machete and shredded. Fermentation takes place with wild yeast in wooden vats for eight to ten days using only deep well water, and once fermentation is complete, the spirit is distilled twice in copper stills, creating a distinctive expression that captures the true essence of Espadín.
