Mezcal & Sotol - agave and dasyliria spirit

Casamigos Joven Mezcal 0,7L 40%Espadín agave in Oaxaca, Mexico, this crystal-clear mezcal is produced using traditional methods by a fourth-generation family of Mezcaleros. Its distinctive character begins with the production process. The agave hearts are split and slowly roasted in traditional underground pits lined with volcanic rock. This time-honoured method gives the agave its characteristic yet subtly integrated smoky character. After cooling, the cooked piñas are crushed using a traditional Tahona wheel and fermented for six to eight days. A double distillation in copper stills then creates a clear, balanced and highly aromatic mezcal. On the nose, Casamigos Joven Mezcal reveals an expressive combination of herbal and fruity aromas accompanied by a subtle touch of smoke. The smoky character adds depth while allowing the more delicate aromas to remain clearly defined. On the palate, the mezcal is smooth, balanced and distinctive. Tamarind and pomegranate provide fruity notes, while fresh mint and black pepper add an intriguing spicy dimension. A gentle smoky character remains in the background, bringing the individual flavours together harmoniously. The finish is pleasantly smooth, with lingering herbal, spicy and subtle smoky notes. Casamigos Joven Mezcal is therefore equally enjoyable neat or as a distinctive ingredient in modern cocktails. An expressive mezcal combining traditional craftsmanship, delicate smoky character and a remarkably smooth flavour profile – an excellent choice for discovering the diverse world of Mexican agave spirits.
