Agua Mágica Espadín Capón Mezcal is a premium, single-origin spirit meticulously crafted in the heart of San Juan del Río, Oaxaca, and expressly designed to elevate the art of the cocktail. From Agua Mágica, a brand deeply committed to preserving artisanal tradition and the magic of its Oaxacan home, this distinctive expression is brought to life by sixth-generation Maestro Mezcalero Julio Juan, reflecting a younger, sharper production philosophy.
The foundation of this exceptional mezcal lies in mature, 7-8 year old Espadín agave, cultivated using the traditional "Capón" method. This time-honored technique involves cutting the agave’s flowering stalk (quiote) before it blooms, which masterfully redirects the plant's energy and sugars back into its heart (piña), resulting in a remarkably sweeter and richer agave juice. These piñas then undergo hotter roasting temperatures, are milled by a traditional stone tahona, naturally wild-fermented in open-air pine vats, and then double-distilled in copper stills while fermentation is still active—a process that captures exceptional aromatic lift and vibrant complexity.
Bottled at a robust 90 proof (45% ABV) and proofed with natural mountain spring water, Agua Mágica Espadín Capón offers bold aromatics and a rich, well-defined structure. The palate is remarkably smooth, unveiling a bright and peppery character with intriguing notes of creamy white chocolate, zesty lime, and cool eucalyptus, beautifully supported by nuances of sweet tropical fruits, green poblano, and subtle hints of coffee bean. This is an artisanal mezcal built to hold its own and truly shine in everything from classic Margaritas to sophisticated Oaxaca Old Fashioneds.
