El Recuerdo Joven Mezcal
Description
El Recuerdo Joven Mezcal is a premium mezcal made from 100% Espadin agave, a type of agave that is native to the Oaxaca region of Mexico. It is produced by a family-owned distillery using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations of mezcaleros.
The production process of El Recuerdo Joven Mezcal begins with the harvesting of mature Espadin agave plants, which are then roasted in an underground pit oven for several days. The roasted piñas are then crushed using a horse-drawn tahona, and the resulting mash is fermented in open-air wooden vats for several days.
After fermentation, the mash is double-distilled in copper stills using traditional techniques that preserve the unique flavors and aromas of the Espadin agave. The resulting mezcal is bottled unaged, giving it a pure and authentic flavor profile.
El Recuerdo Joven Mezcal has a fresh and vibrant flavor profile, with notes of citrus, pepper, and a subtle sweetness. It has a smooth and silky texture, with a long and satisfying finish.
To fully appreciate the unique character of El Recuerdo Joven Mezcal, serve it neat or on the rocks in a traditional clay copita. Take small sips and let the spirit rest on your tongue for a few moments before swallowing. Savor the intricate flavors and aromas that unfold with each sip, and appreciate the skill and craftsmanship that goes into making this exceptional mezcal.
