Mezcalosfera de Mezcaloteca - 'Espadin Destilado Con Zarzamora' Espadin w/ Blackberry Mezcal (Espadin | 750ML)

Mezcalosfera is the imprint for all exports from the legendary Oaxaca City mezcal library, Mezcaloteca. Each release is small and rare; a carefully selected expression from an iconic mezcalero within the community of Miahuatlán.

Don’t be confused, this is not “flavored mezcal”. A special release of Espadín agave distilled traditionally in Miahuatlán by maestro mezcalero Margarito Cortés, who has added fresh blackberries to the still during the second pass. The tradition of adding fruits or herbs to mezcal (as well as traditions like pechuga and gusano) is nearly as old as the spirit itself, either to change flavor and texture or for medicinal or spiritual purposes. With zarzamora (blackberry), a subtle hint of the fruit and the acid of its juice is introduced to Margarito’s famously elegant and clear expression of southern Oaxacan Espadín.
