Crafted in Ejutla de Crespo, Oaxaca, Mexico, Paquera Espadín with Mango is a specialized destilado con mango (fruit-infused/pechuga-style distillation) produced by master mezcalero Francisco Javier Perez Cruz. Built on a base of 100% estate-grown Espadín agave (Agave angustifolia), the mature piñas are slow-cooked in traditional underground conical stone pits fueled by oak wood, crushed using a horse-drawn stone tahona wheel, and open-fermented in wooden vats with natural wild airborne yeasts. Following an initial distillation, fresh locally harvested Oaxacan mangoes are added during the second distillation cycle. This allows the hot vapors to pass through the fruit, infusing the distillate with rich tropical sweetness while maintaining the structural integrity of crisp cooked agave and gentle mesquite smoke.
Food Pairing: Fresh ceviche with mango and habanero, spicy grilled shrimp street tacos, roasted pork carnitas, fresh goat cheese crostini, tropical fruit salads, or dark chocolate with orange peel.
Tasting Notes: Crystal clear in appearance with brilliant clarity, a silky medium-to-full body, and slow-dripping, viscous tears.
Nose: Vibrant, tropical, and aromatic, opening with ripe Oaxacan mango, sweet cooked agave, and bright lime zest, accompanied by soft wood smoke, white floral notes, and a gentle peppery warmth.
Palate: Lush, round, and fruit-forward on the palate, featuring juicy fresh mango nectar and caramelized agave upfront before unfolding into soft mesquite smoke, cracked white pepper, zesty citrus oils, and wet stone minerality.
Finish: Medium-long, clean, and refreshing with lingering notes of sweet tropical fruit, gentle oak smoke, zesty citrus pith, and a warming peppery lift.
Serve: Enjoy neat at room temperature in a traditional clay copita or Glencairn glass, or as a vibrant, elevated base for craft cocktails like a Tropical Mezcal Margarita or Spicy Mango Paloma.
