The Ojo de Tigre Mezcal Artesanal Joven 100% Agave is a high-quality mezcal from Mexico that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern balance. This Clase Joven bottling unites two renowned regions of origin - Oaxaca and Puebla - and combines selected agave varieties to create a harmonious overall profile. For this Artesanal Mezcal, Espadín (Agave angustifolia) and Tobalá (Agave potatorum) are married together, creating an elegant combination of sweetness, smoke and complex herbal freshness.
Production is carried out using traditional methods: The agave hearts are roasted in a stone pit earth pit, which gives the mezcal with its smoky character its typical depth. Distillation then takes place in a classic copper still, which preserves the purity and structure. The Espadín provides a balanced sweetness and gentle smokiness, while the Tobalá from the Mixteca region adds additional complexity and a fine, herbal freshness. At 37%, this 100% agave mezcal is accessible, complex and at the same time authentically Mexican. As a modern joven mezcal, Ojo de Tigre stands for craftsmanship, origin and balanced aromas.
