El Chapu Linero Elote is an Espadín mezcal from Oaxaca with a twist. Elote is the Spanish word for corn, and roasted corn is part of the recipe. It gives this bottle a gentle sweetness that you won't find in a plain Espadín. It is bottled at 94 proof, so it has some warmth.
El Chapu works in the old style. Agave hearts are roasted in an underground pit oven, which is where mezcal gets its smoke. Every bottle is painted, and no two paintings are quite alike. That makes each one a nice gift.
You can expect smoke from the roasted agave right away. Toasted corn comes through as you sip, with an earthy edge underneath. The finish is warm and smoky, with a light sweetness. Small-batch mezcal can shift a little from run to run, so let your own palate lead.
Sip it neat from a small glass or a copita. Take small tastes and let it open up. It also makes a smoky mezcal margarita with a corn-sweet twist.
Food is where this mezcal really shines. Try it with grilled corn, street tacos or carnitas. Smoky barbecue and roasted meats are great matches too.
If you already love Espadín and want something different, this is a fun bottle to try. It is also a friendly way into mezcal if you like a bit of sweetness with your smoke.
