Banhez Espadín Barril Mezcal is a beautifully balanced, small-batch mezcal handcrafted by a cooperative of traditional mezcaleros in Oaxaca. Made from a blend of Espadín and the rarer Barril agave varietal, this expression delivers depth, smoothness, and authentic character without overwhelming smoke—making it both approachable and complex.
The aromatics open with fresh citrus, green herbs, light smoke, and a touch of tropical fruit. On the palate, it is silky and expressive, offering notes of roasted agave, white pepper, lime zest, minerality, and subtle sweetness from the Barril agave. The finish is clean, gently smoky, and lingering, showcasing the craftsmanship and balance Banhez is known for.
This mezcal is extremely versatile: sip it neat to appreciate its layered character, enjoy it on the rocks with an orange slice, or use it to elevate cocktails like Mezcal Margaritas, Palomas, Naked & Famous, and Oaxacan Old Fashioneds. Its smooth, elegant style makes it ideal for both mezcal newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.
Produced with sustainable practices and traditional methods, Banhez Espadín Barril captures the spirit of artisanal mezcal—handmade, flavorful, and rooted in community.
