Beu Spirits, Zond5, Destilado de Agave, 100% Espadin (45%, 70cl)

While it is smooth enough to sip neat, this bottle is explicitly built to be the ultimate, budget-friendly weapon for high-volume mixing. It is our absolute champion for heavy pouring, delivering uncompromising artisanal quality at a price point that makes it the most competitive choice on the market for a killer Margarita, a smoky Paloma, or any house cocktail that needs a major agave upgrade.

Beu Spirits Zond5 is an artisanal agave spirit produced in San Dionisio Ocotepec, located in the Tlacolula district of Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted by Master Mezcaleroxs who tune into lunar cycles and cosmic rhythms, this bottle brings serious magic from the valley straight to your glass.

The production relies on 100% estate-grown Espadín agave, harvested at peak maturity when the sugars are pumping. The hearts are roasted in a classic underground stone pit, crushed with a mechanical shredder, and naturally fermented with wild ambient yeasts in open pine wood vats. After a double distillation in a traditional copper pot still, you get an incredibly clean, bright distillate that treats the terroir with total respect.

The profile opens with a crisp nose of roasted agave, wet river stones, fresh lime zest, and a very delicate, clean smoke. On the palate, it feels light and beautifully balanced, bringing forward juicy notes of green apple, bright citrus, black pepper, and a touch of sweet herbal mint. The finish is remarkably clean and uplifting, leaving behind a subtle mineral dryness and a soft whisper of wood ash.
