The smokiest Alipus.
Distilled by youthful maestro mezcalero Rodolfo Juan Juarez, this Espadín reflects high-altitude terroir on an upland plateau irrigated only by the rain. The use of the “del Rio” name is well advised because this distillery literally fronts onto and overlooks a river which supplies the piped-in water for the stills.
This is a very fruity Mezcal with a full-throated agave flavor. It's the fruit of non-irrigated Espadín “grown in sunny mountain-top plantings in ferriferous soil at 4,600 feet.” It is pit-roasted using black oak. Fermentation in tall red-oak vats is deliberately slow, creating a distinctive fruity richness. This is a big mouthful of a Mezcal that combines all the core sensations of agave fruit, smoke, and sweetness, with a structural minerality. This is definitely a Mezcal that would appeal to fans of peaty Scotch.

Ratings & Reviews
Marc,
Not quite what I expected, much better! Loved the rich smokey flavor.
Mario,
Loved the earthy and smoky flavors.
Jordan,
Tasty, but not too exciting. Smooth finish, bit of a bit up front.
Mark,
Earthy rich flavors with a hint of the surrounding country side vegetation. Served at 36 degrees with an orange wedge and a bite of chocolate for guests. All 7 people loved this supper licquid heaven. Well worth the dollars!
Regan,
Call me a philistine if you will, but honestly the first thing that came to mind was burning bicycle tires. No idea as to the attraction. Also dislike peaty scotches, so there you go.
