Mezcalum Artesanal Joven, 100% Maguey Mezcal

Serve neat — it's a great sipping spirit in need of nothing but a glass and perhaps a small bit of ice.

The judges loved the balance and delicate flavors.

Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, presenting aromas of agave, smoke, and bees wax with supporting notes of honeydew and lime. The palate is in full accord with the nose delivering an agave-driven core with flavors of citrus zest, lime, and campfire. The finish is long. Medium to full-bodied and nicely balanced with a succulent texture.
