Palomo Espadin Mezcal is a testament to the soul of traditional mezcal making, crafted from espadin agave, the variety that introduced the world to the smoky, complex spirit of Oaxaca. Clean, honest, and deeply expressive, it captures the essence of what mezcal is meant to be.


Espadin agave, known botanically as Agave angustifolia, is the backbone of the mezcal world, and in the hands of Palomo, it delivers a spirit that honors centuries of artisanal tradition. The roasting of the pinas in earthen pits imparts the signature smokiness that defines this style, while natural fermentation and small-batch distillation preserve every nuance the agave has to offer.


  • Nose: Inviting aromas of roasted agave, gentle smoke, and subtle earthy sweetness with hints of citrus zest
  • Palate: Smooth and balanced with cooked agave, light smoke, green herbs, and a touch of tropical fruit
  • Finish: Long and warming, with lingering smoke and a clean mineral quality that invites another sip

Palomo Espadin Mezcal shines in a Mezcal Negroni, where its smoke plays beautifully against bitter Campari and sweet vermouth, or in a simple Mezcal Paloma, letting its agave character take center stage alongside grapefruit and lime.


Best enjoyed neat or over a large ice cube to let the aromas fully open up. Palomo Espadin is an approachable, expressive mezcal crafted from espadin agave, the ideal introduction to the world of premium mezcal.

Palomo is a fourth-generation family mezcal from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, led by Maestro Mezcalero Carlos Méndez. Carlos trained as a pilot, then came home after his father passed in 2012 to run the family palenques with his mother, the mezcalera Margarita Blas, and his siblings. Agave is roasted underground over volcanic rock with pine and oak, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, fermented with wild yeast in wooden tinas and distilled twice in small copper pot stills. The flavored bottlings are espadín distilled a third time with cacao, mole or roasted Oaxacan coffee.

Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca

Map of Oaxaca, Mexico, with Santiago Matatlán marked

Santiago Matatlán sits at about 1,725 meters in the Tlacolula district of Oaxaca's Valles Centrales, roughly an hour southeast of Oaxaca City. Known as the world capital of mezcal, the town depends on growing maguey and making mezcal. Its dry valley floor and hillsides are planted with Espadín, and small family palenques in and around town still roast agave in earthen pits. Matatlán was founded in 1575, and its name comes from Nahuatl words meaning among the nets.
