Mezcal Noble Coyote | Espadín-Jabalí 70cl ∙ 45%

Welcome to our online shop! We proudly present Noble Coyote's award-winning Espadín-Jabalí Mezcal, which was awarded the Gold Medal at Spirits Business' Tequila & Mezcal Blind Tasting 2023. This unique mezcal is made from the Maguey Espadín and Jabalí agave plants, with Jabalí being considered the most exotic of all the Magueys. The wild Jabalí agaves are relatively common in the Mezcalero region of Oaxaca, but difficult to process due to their rapidly rising flavour and lower sugar content. However, our Maestro Mezcalero has perfected traditional methods to create a mezcal that is rich and textured with notes of lemongrass, aniseed, eucalyptus and herbal flavours that are reminiscent of bacon with a subtle hint of smokiness. This unique mezcal is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of our Maestro Mezcaleros and a must-try for those who want to experience the true complexity and exoticism of mezcal.
