Mestizo Joven Mezcal
Mestizo Joven Mezcal is the unaged expression from Mestizo, made by Juan José Méndez-León Jiménez in Santiago Matatlán, the town in Oaxaca's central valleys that calls itself the world capital of mezcal. It is produced at NOM-O02X, the second distillery ever registered for mezcal production under Mexico's certification system. The mezcal is made from espadín (Agave angustifolia), the cultivated agave behind most of Oaxaca's mezcal, and distilled in copper, then bottled unaged at 40% ABV so the agave and the roast come through undiluted by wood. The Joven won a Double Gold Medal at the 13th San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2013. Mezcal Reviews describes aromas of mesquite wood and smoke, mushroom, turned soil, roasted pecan and walnut, and sandalwood, with flavors of cooked ripe peach, mesquite, citrus, pepper, spice, cream, vanilla, coconut, and almond on a very long finish; the reviewer found it balanced but on the smoky side. Mestizo pitches the Joven as a mezcal that can be sipped as well as mixed, which makes it a good all-rounder. Sip it from a copita with orange slices and sal de gusano, or use it in a mezcal Margarita, a Paloma, or a Mezcal Negroni.
