The man, the myth, the legend…the mysterious mezcalero Don Celso of Río Golea is spoken of in reverential terms by agave cognoscenti the world over. Celso distills only this one core varietal but does it so beautifully that we couldn’t dream of asking for anything else. This truly legendary Espadín speaks deeply of place, challenging every preconception about the variety you may have.
