La Medida Mezcal Espadín Joven
La Medida, meaning "the measure," was created by Julián Vidal Gómez Rodríguez, who has spent decades building Oaxacan mezcal from the ground up, together with maestro mezcalero Celso Luis Santiago. The brand pays its mezcaleros a salary while their agave grows and hands them an additional thirty percent of each batch's net sale price in cash. The Espadín is Don Celso's own mezcal, made at his palenque in Río Golea, in San Pedro Quiatoni, Oaxaca. It's 100% espadín (Agave angustifolia), with plants grown six to ten years before harvest. The piñas are roasted in an earthen oven, milled with a stone tahona, fermented in wooden tinas, and distilled twice in copper pot stills, then bottled unaged at 48% ABV. The importer's notes open with bold dark fruit, sweet green herbs, and dry hard cheese, moving into minerality, a weighty mouthfeel, and smoky muscle on the palate, with blueberry, tarragon, sage, and parmesan along the way. It's a serious, full-flavored espadín from the man who co-founded the brand, and a good benchmark before moving on to La Medida's wild and karwinskii bottlings.
