Distiller Notes
This is a very well balanced Mezcal full of sweet tones and noble flavors. On the smell it details the sweet smell of lemongrass, aromatic herbs and the cooking of a mature plant with an unmatched unforgettable and fresh aroma. A distinguished smell of country and earth with wild flowers, smoked wood, stone, vanilla, clove, jasmine, peach and apples.
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.
