Aguerrido Mezcal
Pal’alma Puebla – Espadilla Capon
Pal’alma Puebla Espadilla Capon is a Joven Destilado de Agave bottled at 50 percent ABV. The nose presents leathery notes alongside light cream and dry grass, while earthy fragrances and spices remain balanced. Wet stone and sweet bell pepper emerge on the palate, complemented by roasted agave and hints of milk chocolate. A soft vanilla character and slight sweetness linger, yet the finish yields quickly without extending further. This expression offers a delicate stride with warm, grassy elements and a touch of spice that defines its profile.

About the Brand
Pal’alma (or Mezcalito Pal’alma) is curated by Erick Rodriguez. Erick also bottles under the brand Almamezcalera. Known by many as the Indiana Jones of Mezcal, Erick Rodriguez works with agave spirits producers from the 20+ states of Mexico. Anywhere he finds agave fields and a freshwater stream, there’s a good chance that someone is making mezcal nearby. He has a private tasting room in Mexico City, which we visited in 2017, and wrote about in our post Almamezcalera & Mezcalito Pal’alma.
