Wahaka Mezcal Espadín

Pure Mezcal art from Oaxaca.

Wahaka (how one pronounces Oaxaca) is a distillery ran by two childhood friends that turned their love for distillation and tradition into a successful story about sustainable and community-centered business. It started in 2010, when they combed through Oaxaca to find the perfect Mezcal. They met Maestro Mezcalero Beto Morales, the fifth generation of Spirit-makers. The trio stepped together and created world-class Mezcal that both wows globally and supports locally.

Wahaka Joven Espadin is an artisanal expression of Mezcal that wears the terroir on its sleeve. It’s a magical potion that brings a fantastic balance of sweetness, smoke and soil, while the pure flavor of agave takes one’s senses right to the sunlit estate in San Dionisio, where all the sorcery happens. Espadin won four awards, by the way: three silver and one gold medal.
