Pierde Almas Mezcal
Lalocura Espadin
Lalocura Espadin is a Joven mezcal from Oaxaca. Eduardo "Lalo" Angeles crafts this spirit in Santa Catarina Minas under NOM-O602X. The Agave Angustifolia yields a profile of sweet fruit, roasted agave, and minerality. Notes of chalk and iodine appear alongside buttery textures on the palate. Figs and stewed apples provide earthy complexity with distant campfire smoke. This clay-distilled spirit offers a robust yet accessible character for sipping. Muscovado sugar and fruity toffee linger in the finish. The umami depth suggests a unique distillation method that sets it apart from typical mixers.

About the Brand
Before starting Lalocura in 2014, Eduardo “Lalo” Ángeles spent years working as the fourth generation master mezcalero of his family’s brand Real Minero, where he combined a lifetime of working under his father, the late, great Don Lorenzo with a collegiate degree in agricultural engineering. Many Real Minero bottles from several years ago actually have Eduardo listed alongside his father as the master distiller. Lalocura’s clay pot distilled mezcals have built a steady cult following over the last few years. People from around the world show up at the palenque in Santa Catarina Minas each day hoping to spend time listening to Lalo tell stories while they taste the 20+ expressions he has resting in glass at any given time. If you like clay pot distilled mezcal and you like Real Minero, it’s highly recommended that you find some Lalocura.
