Batch OE5 Tech Sheet
Batch OE5 is another excellent Espadín from Onofre in Bramaderos. Only a small number of bottles made it onto shelves in the UK as a large allocation was shipped to Denmark where we have partnered with Sprit & Co., a highly regarded importer distributor with a killer portfolio including industry icons like Fortaleza Tequila and Michter’s Whiskey.
Compared to OE4, OE5 is lighter on its feet, with bright floral notes and citrus zest, accompanied by the typical aromatic herbs and earthy minerals. It’s crying out to be mixed down in our signature Spicy Mezcal Marg.
