CLAN55 Espadin

Oaxaca

CLAN55 Espadin is a Joven mezcal from Santa María Quiegolani. It presents herbal and pepper notes with light smoke on the nose. The palate is generous, balanced, and carries a persistent oily texture that fades slowly after the cooked agave profile. While newer batches show earthy, agave-forward flavors, earlier lots from San Juan del Rio exhibited sour and metallic characteristics. This variance reflects organic growing processes rather than a single consistent style, resulting in distinct sensory profiles across different production lots.
