Perro Verde Mezcal Espadin / Tobasiche Blend

Perro Verde Mezcal Espadin / Tobasiche Blend is the expression the founders themselves call their personal favorite — an ultra-premium ensamble crafted to showcase the perfect balance between the freshness of Espadin and the rare smoothness of wild Tobasiche agave. Produced in Oaxaca by a fifth-generation mezcal-making family with more than 120 years of heritage, this blend delivers a refined sipping experience designed for drinkers who appreciate complexity without overwhelming smoke.

This mezcal opens with sweet aromas of cooked apples, olives, freshly cut herbs, and gentle smokiness before evolving into a palate filled with texture, layered herbal character, fruit, roasted agave, citrus, and spice. The balance between cultivated Espadin and wild Tobasiche creates a profile that feels simultaneously vibrant, smooth, and deeply complex — one of the reasons Perro Verde has quickly become one of the most talked-about emerging luxury mezcal brands.

Every bottle reflects Perro Verde’s commitment to artisanal craftsmanship and sustainability. Espadin agaves mature for 5–7 years while Tobasiche matures for roughly 17 years before being roasted in traditional conical pit ovens with volcanic rocks and Huizache wood. Natural fermentation, copper and clay distillation methods, and zero additives preserve the authentic agave-driven character throughout the process.

For mezcal enthusiasts looking for something smoother, more elegant, and highly distinctive, Perro Verde Espadin / Tobasiche Blend delivers a rare expression that stands apart from traditional smoke-forward mezcals.
