Traditional Roots: Sombra Mezcal Artesanal Joven is crafted using time-honored techniques passed down through generations. Our mezcal begins its journey in the agave fields of Oaxaca, where locally sourced espadín agave plants are harvested by hand at peak maturity. Each plant is carefully selected to ensure optimal sweetness and flavor, honoring the ancestral traditions of mezcal production.

Artisanal Process: Once harvested, the agave hearts, known as piñas, are roasted in earthen pit ovens over hot volcanic rocks. This traditional method imparts a smoky depth to the mezcal, adding layers of complexity to its flavor profile. After roasting, the piñas are crushed, fermented, and double-distilled in copper alembic stills, resulting in a spirit of exceptional purity and character.

Vibrant Flavor Profile: Sombra Mezcal Artesanal Joven captivates the palate with its bold and vibrant flavors. On the nose, aromas of roasted agave, citrus, and earthy undertones tantalize the senses, hinting at the depth of complexity within. The palate is greeted by notes of sweet roasted agave, pepper, and hints of tropical fruit, culminating in a smooth and lingering finish that leaves you craving another sip.
