Mal Bien, Espadin Mezcal (White Tape Label), NV
is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
The White Tape Espadín from Mal Bien isn’t about flashy packaging or over-the-top smoke—it’s about letting the agave speak. Made by a single family of producers using traditional methods (think tahona-crushed, open-air fermented, wood-fired distilled), this non-vintage mezcal delivers clarity, balance, and a true sense of place.
On the nose, it’s all fresh-cut agave, wet earth, citrus peel, and just a wisp of smoke. The palate is clean and direct—more savory than sweet—with notes of roasted agave, saline minerality, and a little peppery lift. It’s got enough rustic edge to remind you it’s handcrafted, but enough polish to go neat, in cocktails, or with a big cube and a slice of orange.
Perfect for fans of mezcal who want the real deal without overpowering campfire vibes—or for tequila drinkers ready to explore the deeper, earthier side of agave. A quiet stunner that rewards attention but doesn’t demand it.
