The genetic “mother” of Tequila’s Blue Weber agave, Espadín typically takes 7 – 12 years to mature & is the most prolific species used in mezcal. Terroir and the maker’s hand mean that Espadín styles vary greatly. Vago Espadín by the very modest Emigdio Jarquín was awarded Double Gold & the coveted “Best Mezcal” at the 2019 SFWSC and “Best Mezcal in the World” in the 2020 World Tequila and Mezcal Awards. Emigdio’s Espadín has delicious concentrated agave flavors balanced by smokiness and a spicy/saline minerality loved by critics and consumers alike.
