Origen Raiz Espadin Chacaleno 750ml

The Chacaleno Terroir, Captured

Origen Raiz Espadin Chacaleno is a mezcal crafted from Agave espadin grown in the Chacaleno microregion — a distinct terroir within Oaxaca known for its unique soil composition and altitude. While espadin is the most widely used agave in mezcal production, the Chacaleno designation signals something special: a single-origin expression where the land speaks as loudly as the plant. Origen Raiz's commitment to traditional production methods ensures every nuance of this remarkable terroir is preserved in the bottle.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Inviting and complex with roasted agave, tropical fruit, green herbs, and a gentle smoke with hints of dried citrus and mineral earth.
• Palate: Medium-bodied and well-balanced with roasted espadin sweetness, mango, lime zest, light smoke, and a subtle earthy vegetal depth.
• Finish: Smooth and medium-length with a soft smoky fade, herbal bitterness, and a clean mineral close.
