Convite Mezcal, Espadin Esencial, Joven, Mexico (40%)

This benchmark bottling from our proud Oaxacan friends at Convite is a supremely welcoming invitation to explore their wares. The great strength of the Espadín variety of agave is its purity of flavour. Here, we see it shining bright. Juicy, sappy, aloe-vera-like notes of agave permeate the nose, palate and finish, with subtle Mezcal smokiness and a cream soda sweetness. Sip it or mix it: this is a welcome guest at any party.
