Solmano Mezcal Espadin

Born in the hills of Oaxaca, Solmano is dedicated to producing additive free, artisanal mezcal that highlights the true character of agave. The Espadín expression is made from mature agave grown for seven to nine years, roasted in a traditional stone pit oven, crushed with a horse drawn tahona, naturally fermented in wooden vats, and double distilled in copper stills. Rather than chasing heavy smoke, Solmano focuses on balance, allowing the agave's fruit and mineral character to shine through. At the time of writing, there are no major international awards widely documented for this expression, but it has earned praise for its approachable, cocktail friendly style and commitment to traditional production.

Nose: Light smoke is complemented by roasted agave, sweet caramel, ripe red fruits, cedar, and subtle notes of vanilla and fresh spearmint.

Palate: Smooth and agave forward, with flavours of roasted agave, pineapple, caramel, vanilla, and a gentle earthy smokiness that remains beautifully balanced.

Finish: Clean and lingering with red fruit, mineral notes, delicate smoke, and a pleasantly dry finish.
