Claridad Mezcal Maguey Espadín (1L)

Crafted in Miahuatlán, Oaxaca by 5th-generation maestro Onofre Ortíz Ortíz, Claridad Espadín is an ancestral masterpiece now available in a generous 1-liter bottle. Pit-roasted over oak for three days, hand-milled, and open-fermented in cypress tanks with ambient yeast and well water, this double-copper-distilled spirit delivers pure, unadulterated agave character with zero additives.

On the nose, it greets you with an inviting, delicate bouquet of soft clay, burnt cinnamon, subtle tropical fruit, fresh green herbs, and unripened banana. The surprising and bold palate leaps to life with vibrant notes of fragrant jasmine, earth-bound parsnip and yam, freshly cracked coriander, and sweet yellow flowers, anchored by a whisper of smoky char. Dry, herbaceous, floral, and deeply complex with a velvety mouthfeel, this oversized liter bottle offers a rich, complex, and highly versatile pour that’s ideal for slow neat sipping or upgrading high-end agave cocktails.
