Topanito Mezcal is an authentic, handcrafted mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, made exclusively from 100% Espadín agave. The agave is harvested only after a minimum of seven years of maturation, ensuring a depth and complexity of flavor that defines quality mezcal.
The hearts of the agave plant – known as piñas – are traditionally roasted in earth ovens for up to eight days. This process imparts the mezcal’s distinctive smoky aroma. After roasting, the agave is crushed using a tahona, a heavy stone mill pulled by a donkey, and fermented in open wooden vats with naturally occurring wild yeast. The distillation takes place in copper stills and is repeated twice to achieve a clean and balanced spirit.
On the nose, you’ll find roasted agave, eucalyptus, fresh citrus notes, and a hint of wild herbs. The flavor is mild and rounded, with nuances of green mango, hay, fresh grass, and a gentle, elegant smokiness. The finish is silky smooth with a fresh, herbal touch.
Topanito Mezcal 100% Espadín is perfect for sipping neat, but also excels in cocktails where it adds depth and character. A spirit for those who appreciate true craftsmanship, tradition, and Mexican cultural heritage in liquid form.
