Matasanta Espadin Artesanal is a traditionally crafted mezcal that honors the ancient techniques of artesanal production, where every step from harvest to bottle reflects a deep respect for agave culture.


Crafted from mature Espadin agave, this mezcal follows the artesanal production method, a designation that sits between ancestral and industrial, allowing for small-batch precision while preserving time-honored practices such as tahona milling and open-air fermentation. The result is a spirit that carries the soul of its makers in every drop.


  • Nose: Earthy smoke, roasted agave, and subtle floral undertones with hints of dried fruit and warm spice
  • Palate: Rich and layered, with cooked agave sweetness, gentle smoke, citrus zest, and a touch of tropical fruit
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smoke, mineral notes, and a clean herbal fade

Matasanta Espadin Artesanal shines neat in a copita glass, but it also brings beautiful depth to a Mezcal Negroni or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned, adding complexity without overpowering the cocktail.


Best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to open the spirit up. Matasanta Espadin Artesanal Mezcal is produced from Espadin agave using artesanal methods, a benchmark expression for those exploring the rich world of craft mezcal.

Master Distiller: Moisés Pacheco
Matasanta launched in the US in October 2023 and works with three maestros mezcaleros in three corners of Oaxaca. Moisés Pacheco makes the artesanal Espadín in Miahuatlán, cooking in earth pit ovens, fermenting in cypress wood and double distilling in copper. Israel Palestino in Jayacatlán and Luis Méndez in Sola de Vega make the ancestral bottles, distilled in clay pots. Every batch is bottled at full proof with no water added, under labels handmade from spent agave fiber by paper artist Alberto Valenzuela in Etla. The brand has also planted more than 20,000 agaves from seed in Miahuatlán, none of them Espadín.

Miahuatlán, Oaxaca

Map of Oaxaca, Mexico, with Miahuatlán marked

Miahuatlán de Porfirio Díaz is the main town of Oaxaca's Sierra Sur, set at an average elevation of about 1,600 meters in the mountains south of Oaxaca City. Its name comes from the Nahuatl for place of the corn tassel, and it was a Zapotec trading center before the Spanish arrived. The district is known for its diversity of agave, with Espadín and Tobalá growing alongside tall karwinskii agaves such as Madrecuishe, Tobasiche and Barril. Small family palenques here still roast agave in earthen pits.
