Distiller Notes
Palomo is a 4th generation, family-owned brand that is traditionally made and of the highest quality. Lighter in smoke than others and higher in proof than most, Palomo packs a flavor punch of cooked agave with citrusy notes that is deliciously neat and holds up to any cocktail.
Mezcal Joven or “young” is bottled within two months of distillation without barrel aging and will appear clear, like a Vodka or Gin. Longer barrel aging, with the principal aim to soften and round a spirit’s flavor profile, is often most prized by connoisseurs. However, many die-hard Mezcal enthusiasts insist that oak takes away from the purity of the agave flavors—ranging from earthy and smoky to sweet and floral, often in the same Mezcal—and that Mezcal Joven is the best expression.
