Distiller Notes
White flowers and yellow pepper lay the foundation for an expressive mid-palate of coriander and banana leaf and a textbook Tepeztate finish of Szechuan peppercorn.
Proof: 98
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.
