What is Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal?

Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal sets itself apart with a shorter roasting time of just 4 days, resulting in a smoother, slightly sweeter profile compared to typical Espadín mezcals. Interestingly, this mezcal is ground using a horse-drawn tahona, a traditional stone wheel method that dates back centuries and is believed by many to impart a unique depth of flavor to the final spirit.

Why do we love Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal?

Cocktail enthusiasts will appreciate Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal for its unique 4-day roasting process, which results in a smoother, slightly sweeter, and less smoky flavor profile compared to typical 7-day roasted Espadín mezcals. This expertly crafted spirit offers a versatile and well-balanced option for both sipping and mixing, making it an excellent choice for those looking to explore the world of mezcal with a more approachable yet authentic expression.

How do you drink Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal?

Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its smooth, balanced flavors to unfold on the palate. While it's versatile enough for smoky variations on classic cocktails year-round, it's particularly refreshing in citrus-forward drinks during warm summer evenings, and pairs beautifully with grilled meats, rich moles, or spicy seafood dishes.

Nose: Crisp citrus notes of mandarin orange mingle with earthy pine aromas. Hints of slate and mineral undertones add complexity. A subtle smokiness lingers in the background, less pronounced than typical espadín mezcals.

Palate: Smooth and well-balanced, with a slightly sweet entry. Fresh citrus flavors dominate, reminiscent of mandarin and lime zest. Herbal notes of pine and agave emerge, complemented by a gentle smokiness. A touch of peppery spice adds depth without overwhelming.

Finish: Medium-length and clean. The citrus notes fade, leaving a pleasant combination of mineral and pine flavors. A subtle warmth lingers, with just a whisper of smoke. The finish is remarkably smooth for a 42% ABV spirit, inviting another sip.

Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal is crafted using a unique 4-day roasting process for the agave, which is shorter than the typical 7-day roast used by many other producers. This shorter roasting time results in a smoother, less smoky flavor profile with subtle sweetness, setting it apart from more intensely smoky mezcals while still maintaining the spirit's characteristic complexity.

  • Unlike most Espadín mezcals that are roasted for 7 days, Mala Mía Espadin Mezcal is roasted for only 4 days, resulting in a uniquely smoother and slightly sweeter flavor profile.
  • Mala Mia Espadín Mezcal is produced using a horse-drawn tahona, a traditional stone wheel used to crush the agave hearts, adding an authentic touch to its production process.
  • Despite being a small-batch, handcrafted spirit, Mala Mia Espadín Mezcal is both vegan and gluten-free, making it an inclusive option for various dietary preferences.
  • Main Ingredient: Agave

      MUST GET!

      I tried Mala Mia at a tasting event and it definitely delivered. This brand is fantastic if you are an experienced or new mezcal fan. The less “smoky” note was perfect for me, especially compared to other brands I have tried. I’ve had it now in cocktails or just on a straight. The variety pack is amazing to try different notes and flavors. Must get!

      Espadin

      The Espadin is fantastic! The little hint of sweetness coupled with being very smooth is a great sipping experience.

      Best Mezcal

      The Espadin is by far my favorite of the collection. Its sweetness compared to other mezcals smokiness sets it apart from its peers in this category. 5/5 would recommend.
