Los Vecinos del Campo Espadín Mezcal

Mezcal Artesanal | 45% ABV | 90 Proof | 750mL | 100% Espadín Agave | Joven

Process & Profile

Los Vecinos del Campo Espadín Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal produced in the Valles Centrales region of Oaxaca, Mexico. Made from 100% Espadín agave, it is crafted in small batches by a group of master mezcaleros using traditional methods passed down through generations.

Locally grown agave is harvested by hand before the piñas are slow-roasted underground, developing the roasted sweetness and gentle smoke associated with traditional mezcal. The cooked agave is then crushed with a stone molino and naturally fermented in wooden vats.

Following fermentation, the mezcal is double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled at 90 proof, Los Vecinos Espadín balances earthy and smoky agave with brighter tropical fruit, ginger, pepper, and vegetal flavors.

What Makes It Special

Los Vecinos del Campo translates to “Neighbors of the Field,” reflecting the community of Oaxacan families and mezcaleros involved in producing the spirit. The Espadín expression is made in small batches using traditional production techniques rather than an industrialized approach.

Underground roasting provides smoke and roasted agave character, while stone milling and natural fermentation help develop additional fruit, earth, and savory complexity. Double distillation in copper pot stills brings these flavors together while retaining the rustic character of the Espadín agave.

At 90 proof, the mezcal has enough intensity for sipping while also standing up well in cocktails. Its balance of tropical fruit, ginger, roasted pepper, agave, and smoke makes it approachable without losing the character expected from artisanal Oaxaca mezcal.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Los Vecinos del Campo Espadín Mezcal neat in a copita or small tasting glass to experience its roasted agave, tropical fruit, spice, and smoky character.

It also works especially well in cocktails. Use it in a Mezcal Margarita, Paloma, Oaxaca Old Fashioned, or Mezcal Negroni, where its 90-proof strength and combination of fruit, pepper, and smoke remain noticeable alongside other ingredients.
