The Everyday Mezcal, Done Right
Every great mezcal lineup starts with a great Espadín. Monte Coyote’s is made the slow way — agave hearts roasted underground, crushed by hand, fermented wild and distilled twice in copper — and it drinks like mezcals costing twice as much. This is the bottle for converts and the curious alike. Shop the Monte Coyote collection, browse mezcal, and see the full agave spirits shelf at Del Mesa.
Tasting Notes
Friendly and balanced — campfire smoke up front giving way to honeyed agave, citrus and white pepper. Soft on the palate with a clean, gently smoky finish.
How to Enjoy
Neat for the purists, over a big cube for an easy evening, or as the base of a mezcal margarita, paloma or Naked and Famous. At 40% ABV it mixes beautifully without disappearing.
