Puntagave Joven Mezcal

Puntagave Joven is the flagship mezcal of the Puntagave Artisanal line, the brand's premium tier alongside the terroir-driven Puntagave Rustico bottlings (older bottles carried the name Colectivo Regional). Its process is credited to Guillermo Barroso Arnaud, described by the brand as the second certified maestro tequilero in the world, and the company says it produced and revised up to 52 batches before settling on the profile, with the goal of keeping cooked agave at the front even in its aged expressions. The mezcal is made in Yautepec, Oaxaca, from espadín (Agave angustifolia) cooked in a traditional earth pit for three days, crushed under a tahona, and fermented naturally with the brand's own yeast in open wooden tanks for 15 days before distillation in small batches, and it is bottled at 41% ABV. The brand's tasting notes describe layers of dried sweet fruits, hazelnuts, and cedar under the roasted agave and smoke. It comes in a handmade ceramic decanter sealed with corks cut from the aged corks of the brand's own barrels, a bottle the company says lets the spirit keep evolving once opened. A sipping mezcal first, served neat with orange and sal de gusano.
