Banhez Espadín & Barril is an artisanal mezcal crafted in Oaxaca by a cooperative of small producers. This unique spirit is made from a blend of 90% Espadín and 10% Barril agaves, cooked in a stone oven and distilled in copper. With an aromatic profile featuring floral notes and tropical aromas like pineapple and banana, alongside a subtle smoky finish, it is perfect for mezcal newcomers and experts seeking a versatile spirit for cocktails. Produced in San Miguel Ejutla, Oaxaca, by over 35 families dedicated to sustainable and fair trade practices, the traditional methods include stone ovens, donkey-driven stone mills, fermentation in wooden vats, and copper pot distillation. This mezcal has an ABV of 42% and has won the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2017. It is recommended to be enjoyed neat or in creative cocktails like margaritas or palomas, thanks to its smoothness and complexity of flavors.
