Memorable Mezcal Artesanal Joven 100% Espadin Agave – Box with 6

Exclusive and classic artisanal mezcal

Of all the agave varieties which are used for mezcal, Espadin is by far the most common. This is because Espadin have most of the same qualities as do the Blue Agave which is used for tequila. It holds a great sweetness, is robust, grows fast and has a big pinã. The mezcal made from Espadin comes with great variety. The term “terroir” is very real in mezcal. Some agave grow in dry rocky ground and some in rich soil, and the taste and maturation time very much depends on these factors.

The Memorable Mezcal Artesanal Joven is made from hand selected and carefully chosen agaves, which are harvested in i Oaxaca.

Tasting Notes

Made by mezcalero Jose Diaz Bustamante, this mezcal has the typical characteristics of a good Espadin mezcal. It is has a rich and deep sweetness and a warm smoky flavour. While some mezcals can have this famous sensation of spiky notes, this has a more rounded mouth feeling. Aromas of buttery sugar cookies, vanilla extract and macadamia nut. Some minerality and sweetness on the palate, with bursts of citrus and umami.

Description

The mezcals from “Memorable Mezcal” are all handcrafted and and the agaves are all handselected. It takes a lot of experience understanding when to harvest the agave. The plants natural lifecycle is to grow for 6-8 years and then bloom. The process of blooming will kill the plant leaving only the seeds. The agave is harvested right before it starts growing the quiote as the flower stalk is called. That is the time when the plant is ripe and full of juice. It is also a pretty short period, where the jimador has to use his experience to pick the plant at the optimal time.

This Espadin based mezcal holds all the good qualities of classic mezcal. It is strong, with a smoky sweetness and is absolutely perfect for a good dinner or as an evening sipper.
