Espíritu Lauro Joven Mezcal
Espíritu Lauro traces back to the 1920s and a palenque founded by Don Lauro in San Agustín Amatengo, in the Ejutla district of Oaxaca; Espíritu Corsa bought the palenque in 2010 and relaunched the brand, with Carino Ramirez as mezcalero and certification under NOM O138X. The Joven is an ensamble of 70% Espadín (Agave angustifolia), harvested at six to nine years, and 30% karwinskii, harvested at fifteen to seventeen years. The piñas are cooked in an underground stone oven, crushed by a horse-drawn tahona, and wild fermented in wooden vats for five to fifteen days. Distillation is the unusual part: a single pass through a refrescadora, a copper still fitted with internal plates that cool and condense the vapor, rather than the usual double distillation. The palenque heats its stills with gas instead of wood and uses fallen trees for the roasting fire to limit deforestation. The brand describes the mezcal as bright, with soft notes of smoke and dried herbs, and Mezcalistas found roast agave on the nose and a rich, balanced palate moving from cinnamon and chocolate into herbal notes. It is bottled at 40% ABV.
