Agave de Cortes Joven Mezcal (750ML)

On the palate, bright acidity and 45% ABV balance with layers and layers of flavor; lemongrass, damp earth, faint fruit, and dense clay/mineral shine with rich body and silky texture. • 45% ABV Agave de Cortés is a beautiful expression of 100% Espadín agave, distilled in the iconic, mezcal-producing town of Santiago Matatlán. An unparalleled introduction to the category, owned entirely by the indigenous Zapotec family who distills it.
