Peloton de la Muerte Espadin is a mezcal that wears its soul on its sleeve, crafted from the agave espadin plant that has long defined the heart of traditional mezcal production. Bold, smoky, and unmistakably artisanal, this expression carries the spirit of Oaxacan craft in every pour.


Made from mature espadin agave, Peloton de la Muerte follows time-honored mezcal production methods rooted in the highlands of Oaxaca. The agave hearts are slow-roasted in earthen pit ovens, then crushed, fermented naturally, and twice distilled to coax out the layered complexity that has made this brand a favorite among mezcal enthusiasts worldwide.


  • Nose: Inviting aromas of roasted agave, wood smoke, and a whisper of dried fruit with earthy mineral undertones
  • Palate: Rich and full-bodied with notes of charred oak, cooked agave, citrus peel, and a subtle herbal character
  • Finish: Long and warming with lingering smoke, toasted spice, and a clean, dry agave sweetness

Peloton de la Muerte Espadin shines in a Mezcal Negroni, where its smoky depth plays beautifully against bitter vermouth and sweet liqueur, or sipped alongside a simple Mezcal Paloma to let the citrus brightness lift its natural earthiness.


Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to open up its complexity. Peloton de la Muerte Espadin Mezcal is crafted from espadin agave in the mezcal-producing heartland of Oaxaca, Mexico.

Location icon
Location: Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca
Pelotón de la Muerte comes from the team behind a Mexico City mezcal bar opened in 2005, independent ever since. The name comes from a historic flag that, for the team, stands for resisting oppression. The Espadín mezcal is made with the Santiago family in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, roasted five days in an earthen oven, crushed by tahona, fermented in pine vats and double distilled in small copper stills. The tequila blanco comes from El Arenal in the Tequila valley, cooked in brick ovens and double distilled in a copper-lined alembic at NOM 1649.

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.
