The Espadín agave, or Agave angustifolia, is the most commonly used agave variety for producing mezcal. Its popularity stems largely from its high sugar content, which allows for a higher yield of spirit compared to other agave species (approximately 20 pounds of Espadín produces one liter of mezcal, while other varieties may require more than three times that amount). Most Espadín agaves are harvested at 6 to 8 years of age due to the plant’s scarcity and the high demand from producers.
The Espadin Agave, also known as Agave Angustifolia, is the most commonly used agave variety used to produce Mezcal. Espadín’s ubiquity is due largely to its high sugar concentration, which can yield larger volumes of spirit than other agave species (it takes about 20 pounds of Espadín to make a liter of mezcal, while some agaves can require more than triple that amount). Most Espadin Agaves are harvested between 6-8 years due to its scarcity of the plant and high demand from producers.
