Delirio De Oaxaca Joven Mezcal

Detailed Description

The heart of this Joven is produced at a traditional palenque in Matatlan, Oaxaca, by Abel Lopex, a third generation grower and distiller. Abel cultivates agave espadin to meet mexican organic standards by certimex. The agave is harvested by hand and cooked in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and naturally fermented in open pine vats. Following fermentation, the must is double-distilled in copper alembics, filtered and precisely blended to 84 Proof. The final product has a robust profile with aroma of agave, soft fruit notes and semi-smoked character.
