Catedral Espadin + Mexicano

Oaxaca

Catedral Espadin + Mexicano is a mezcal ensamble blending two distinct agave species. The nose presents lactic, cheesy, and leathery notes alongside overripe melon. Sweet and creamy lactic flavors dominate the palate, with subtle hints of coconut and melon. The finish is somewhat hot and peppery, lingering on the tongue for a notable duration. This profile highlights a smooth lactic Espadin character upfront while delivering a distinct Mexicano finish. The combination creates a layered sensory profile defined by dairy-like sweetness and spicy heat that remains memorable.
