What is Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal?
Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal is a stunning, artisanal spirit crafted by a fourth-generation Master Mezcalero using century-old techniques. Remarkably, this mezcal has won more awards than any other brand in the world, including the prestigious Mezcal Trophy at the International Wine & Spirits Competition in both 2017 and 2022.
Why do we love Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal?
Cocktail enthusiasts should seek out Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal for its unparalleled quality, evidenced by its status as the most highly-awarded mezcal brand globally, and its unique blend of wild and cultivated Espadin agaves aged 8-10 years, which are roasted in volcanic rock-lined pits and crushed using a traditional horse-drawn tahona, resulting in a complex flavor profile that perfectly balances fruitiness, vegetal notes, and subtle smoke.
How do you drink Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal?
Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex flavors to unfold, though it also excels in smoky variations of classic cocktails; this versatile spirit pairs beautifully with grilled meats and rich, spicy dishes, making it perfect for warm summer evenings or cozy winter nights by the fire.

Nose: Roasted agave leads the way, followed by hints of ripe black fruit and raisins. Subtle smoke weaves through, accompanied by earthy notes and a touch of burnt sugar. A faint herbaceous quality lingers in the background.
Palate: Smooth and weighty mouthfeel. Cooked agave flavors dominate, balanced by a gentle smokiness. Herbaceous notes emerge, reminiscent of fresh green peppers. A slight peppery spice builds, while hints of butterscotch add sweetness. The smoke remains present but never overpowering.
Finish: Long and satisfying. Dried fruit flavors come forward, particularly prunes and figs. Wood spice adds complexity, while a subtle butterscotch sweetness lingers. The smoke gently fades, leaving a pleasant warmth and a final whisper of roasted agave.
Corte Vetusto Espadin Mezcal is crafted using traditional methods, including roasting agave hearts in earthen pits, crushing them with a horse-drawn stone tahona, and fermenting with wild yeasts before double distillation in wood-fired copper stills - a process that relies on generations of expertise rather than modern technology or formulas.
Main Ingredient: Agave Espadin
