Avant-Garde Design with an Ancestral Soul
The Ticony Espadín Artisanal Mezcal White Bottle Edition redefines the concept of luxury spirits in Mexico. Created with absolute dedication by master mezcal makers in the historic community of Unión Zapata, Mitla, this mezcal stands out both inside and out. Its iconic opaque white ceramic or glass bottle pays tribute to the purity and lime wash of traditional Oaxacan architecture, protecting the distillate from light rays to preserve its organoleptic properties. Strictly crafted using the artisanal method from mature Espadín Agave, its natural fermentation and distillation in traditional stills give it a polished, silky, and immensely rich alcoholic profile (44% Vol.), consolidating it as the perfect balance between designer aesthetics and cultural heritage.

2. Luxury Tasting Notes
Appearance: When served, it is completely crystalline, clean, and of extraordinary brilliance, reflecting a remarkable glyceric density that forms dense and impeccable tears in the glass.
Nose: Great expressiveness and subtlety. Delicious sweet fruit tones stand out, such as baked apple, ripe banana, and agave syrup. As it evolves in the glass, a light but suggestive creamy dairy aroma emerges, masterfully interwoven with herbal notes of mint and eucalyptus, and a final touch of fine spices like pepper.
Palate: Smooth, unctuous, and elegant entry. Its body envelops the palate, repeating the dairy and sweet fruit flavors perceived on the nose. It gives way to a very lively herbal freshness that balances the sip. The finish is clean, prolonged, subtly mineral and spicy, with a smooth and highly refined smoky note.

frequently asked questions (FAQS)
Does the Ticony White Bottle edition change in flavor compared to the traditional bottle?
It maintains the recipe and the excellent artisanal distillation of our 44° Espadín from Unión Zapata. However, the White Bottle offers superior aesthetic value and optimized physical protection against light degradation, ensuring that its delicate fruity and dairy notes remain unaltered for longer on the bar.
What does the dairy note contribute and how does it originate in Ticony Mezcal?
Far from being a defect, the subtle dairy note (aroma of fresh cream, whey, or noble butter) is an indicator of quality in artisanal mezcals. It occurs spontaneously during fermentation in wooden vats thanks to the action of wild lactic bacteria from the Mitla environment, providing a rich, smooth texture on the palate that mitigates the aggressive impact of alcohol.
At what temperature should it be served and how is it recommended to drink it?
It should be served strictly at room temperature (between 18°C and 22°C) in a wide-necked mezcal glass or a traditional cross-section glass. It is advisable to take small sips, moistening the lips first to acclimate the taste buds and perceive its herbal and spicy profile without saturation.
Does this artisanal mezcal contain additives or added sugars?
No. Ticony Artisanal Mezcal is 100% pure Espadín Agave. All its sweetness comes exclusively from the caramelization of the mature agave piñas during their slow cooking underground, and its yeasts are native to the Oaxacan environment, free of chemical accelerators or artificial essences.
