Montelobos Espadin Mezcal Joven Tequila was created to show the complex but perfect balance between the four basic flavor profiles in artisanal mezcal: green agave, cooked agave, smoke, and wild fermentation. Montelobos Espadin is an unaged joven mezcal crafted from meticulously cultivated, 100% sustainably grown, organic agave Espadin. An underground pit is filled with volcanic stone and heated using two different kinds of wood that roast the agave for five days. It is milled under the weight of a traditional single Cantera stone Tahona and then wild fermented in open-air pine vats for up to 7 days.
Following the artisanal method with firewood heating copper stills, the mezcal is a small batch twice distilled to achieve a perfect balance of sweetness and subtle smoke. This artisanally produced joven mezcal is strikingly balanced and complex, with a bold integration between all the notes that mezcal has to offer. Montelobos Espadin is an experience unto itself.
