Mezcal Amaras Espadin

Amaras Espadín is the Oaxacan sibling of the Verde that Wine Enthusiast called an entry point — the house espadín at 41%. Amaras is the mezcal arm of Casa Amaras, which plants agave for every bottle sold and works with maestros across Oaxaca and Guerrero; the Espadín is made in the Tlacolula valley from eight-year cultivated espadín roasted in a stone-lined earthen pit over oak, crushed by tahona, fermented with wild yeast in pine vats, and double-distilled in copper, bottled at 41% ABV in the tall bottle with the Amaras crest. The house style is clean and approachable: expect a nose of cooked agave, honeysuckle, and jasmine with a light, sweet smoke, opening into a smooth, medium-bodied palate of caramel, green pepper, and citrus with the smoke balanced rather than dominant, finishing warm and moderately long. Where the Verde is the cocktail workhorse at 42% and the Cupreata is the fruit-forward Guerrero bottle, the Espadín sits between — a sipping-and-mixing espadín built for people who want Oaxaca without the bruising. Honest note: it's a polished, brand-driven espadín rather than a wild single-maestro bottle, and that's its job. For a mezcal Margarita, a Mezcal Paloma, a Naked and Famous, or neat with orange and sal de gusano, it's Amaras' Oaxacan base. Planted for every bottle.
