Erstwhile Espadin Mezcal
This award-winning Espadin is a serious sipping mezcal. It happens to be stellar in craft cocktails too! It hits that magical sweet spot of taste, complexity, good value and versatility. Elegant. Balanced. Nuanced. Approachable but never boring.
Meet the master distillers who craft Erstwhile’s award-winning Espadín, named a Top 100 Spirits of 2019 by Wine Enthusiast, Gold Medal winner by the Beverage Testing Institute, and BEST IN CLASS gold medal winner with the highest rating in the mezcal / agave spirits category at Craft Spirits Berlin Awards 2023 - Europe's largest competition dedicated to handcrafted spirits.
Meet Silverio García Luis and Epifania Gómez Mejía, a mezcal producer family of Zapotec heritage based in Rancho Blanco Güilá, Oaxaca. Counting Silverio and Epifania, there has been at least three generations of mezcaleros in the García family.
Epifania did not grow up in a mezcal family, but learned the ropes and became a master distiller in her own right. In 2020, the Mezcal Regulatory Council in Mexico (Consejo Regulador del Mezcal) honored and spotlighted Epifania as a Woman in Mezcal.

Their Espadin stood out from the (many) others we had tasted. It hit that magical sweet spot of taste, complexity, good value and versatility.
Elegant. Balanced. Nuanced. Approachable but never boring.
Crafted by the García family for generations and now available for your collection, the Erstwhile Espadín is your workhorse mezcal. Delicious for savoring a neat pour on its own. But no less stellar in mixed drinks. The perfect gift for the bon vivant in your life. A dynamite addition to any home or professional bar.
