MEZCALOSFERA 2019 ESPADILLA - JORGE GURROLA | 500 ML

This Mezcal is crafted from Maguey Espadilla, a wild subspecies of Agave angustifolia that is typically smaller than the more common Maguey Espadín. This 120 litres batch was made by Maestro Jorge Gurrola from Suaqui Grande, Sonora. Jorge is 58 years old, he learned from his father and now he is makes mezcal with his son. They work exclusively with Espadilla from his land. His favourite mezcal to drink is Bacanora - which this production technically also is except it has not gone through the certification process.
