“Thanks to a light stripe of coconut and pineapple flavor hiding behind the smoke and pepper, Koch el Mezcal Espadín Joven (San Baltazar Guelavila, 47% ABV) is a mezcal that really makes a cocktail sing!” raves Chris. But while the acid and proof make this one really fun to mix with, the fruity, musty aromas, sweet and slightly bitter notes of cooked agave on the palate, and long, spicy finish make it a mezcal that’s also a pleasure to sip neat.
