The Mezcal Artesanal Joven Espadin 'La Herencia de Sanchez' from the Mexican Rey Campero – Distilleria Sanchez is a distilled spirit made from Espadin agave, rich in pleasant smoky sensations, produced in the state of Oaxaca, located in the southern part of the country.

This type of agave is the most commonly used in Oaxaca, and once matured, the plant measures 1.5 meters in width and one meter in height. The name of this distillate comes from the Nahuatl language word "mexcalli", which is formed by the terms "metl", meaning "agave", and "ixcalli", meaning "cooked".
