Palomo Espadin Destilado con Cacao is a mezcal made by Carlos Mendez Blas in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. It is made from espadin agave that is cooked underground for five days, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona and distilled in copper pot stills. After a four-week maceration with Oaxacan chocolate it gets a third distillation. It is bottled at 46% ABV and sells for around $50 to $65.
