Cuish Espadín Capón was distilled in 2004 and stored in stainless steel for 15 years.
About this mezcal
Cuish Espadín-Mexicano was distilled in October 2019 by Francisco Garcia Leon in San Guillermo, Miahuatlan, Oaxaca, Mexico. Francisco and his son Raul work together at their palenque located just off the freeway between Ejutla and Miahuatlan de Porfirio Diaz. The harvested agaves were cooked in an underground stone-lined oven, milled by a horse-drawn tahona, naturally fermented in Montezuma Cypress vats, and twice distilled in a copper with refrescadera still. The final spirit was adjusted with distilled well water, body, and heads. Lot number: CSH-04.

12 reviewsThe Espadín really is overpowered in this ensamble. I dont know what the % of blend but its very sharp to taste. The spiciness is very apparent and I would prefer to put this in a cocktail (yes even Mexicano) than keep sipping neat.

Palate: Sweet and spicy – a candied, roasted jalapeno flavor. Sweetness fades fast in the finish and it becomes bitter. A lingering warmth in the aftertaste.
This one starts strong but loses its luster in the end.
