Pierde Almas Mezcal
Miel de Tierra Espadin
Miel de Tierra Espadin is a Joven mezcal from Jalpa, Zacatecas. Teresa Rubio Murillo produces this spirit under NOM-F426D using Agave angustifolia. The mezcalero mills the agave in a tahona before distilling it in copper stills. This process yields an unaged expression bottled at 40% ABV without wood contact. The result highlights the raw character of the local agave species directly after fermentation. Each bottle captures the distinct terroir of Zacatecas through traditional methods and precise craftsmanship by the producer.

About the Brand
Miel de Tierra means Earth’s Honey, and the name comes from the sweet, amber-flushed tree sap, which can only be found in virgin barrels made of fresh natural oak timber. Given the name, Miel de Tierra has a robust barrel-aging program and they also have several unaged releases. Their location in southern Zacatecas makes them a fairly unique brand internationally.
