The Jiménez family discovered a small vein of chalky, white soil on their farm, and they planted 3 small batches of Espadin in the unique soil. The chalky, Champagne-esque soil gives this mezcal a deep minerality. Tierra Blanca is released only once every nine years, so if you spot it, be sure to grab a bottle!
