******Pre-Order for 5-10-26****** This small batch of "Espadín con Mandarina" is the result of young mezcalero Eduardo "Lalo" Perez Cortés' experimentation with distilling seasonal ingredients along with locally harvested Espadín. To make this batch, he roasted ripe Espadín (a. Angustifolia) in an underground conical oven for eight days with mesquite as firewood, then crushed the cooked agave with wooden mallets and machetes to create a fermentable mash. That mash was allowed to dry-ferment for three days, then Lalo added well water to the mash and allowed it to ferment for additional fifteen days. Once fermentation was deemed complete, he distilled the mash once in a copper alembic still; that spirit is called "xixe." Lalo then added approximately 30 kilograms of peeled, de-seeded mandarin oranges along with a seasonal flower called "cempasuchil," to the boiling chamber of the still and distilled them along with the "xixe." Distilled prior to Día de Los Muertos in 2025. 62 liters produced. Bottled January 2026 for our friends at Off Premise in Chicago, to commemorate Lalo's first visit to the United
