San Cosme Mezcal Joven is an exceptional 100% agave mezcal that epitomises the heart of the traditional Mexican art of distillation. Produced in Oaxaca, the world's most famous region for mezcal, it stands for authenticity, craftsmanship and intense flavour. As a mezcal joven (young mezcal), it is not matured in barrels after distillation, allowing its original flavours and characteristic smokiness to come through particularly clearly.

The basis of this mezcal is the Espadín agave, one of the most popular agave varieties for mezcal production. After harvesting, the agave hearts are slowly roasted over a wood fire in earth-buried stone ovens, creating the typical smoky flavour. They are then crushed using stone mills, traditionally fermented and double distilled. This careful production ensures a complex, aromatic flavour profile with mineral, fruity and spicy nuances.

Tasting Note

Colour: Crystal clear with silvery reflections.

Nose: Intense smoky notes of roasted agave, combined with herbs, citrus fruits and a slight sweetness.

Flavour: Smooth yet powerful with notes of sweet agave, pepper, light caramel and mineral accents.

Finish: Langs with a harmonious blend of smoke, fruity freshness and subtle spice.

San Cosme Mezcal Joven is best enjoyed neat at room temperature to fully experience its smoky and fruity flavours. A traditional accompaniment is orange slices with Sal de Gusano (worm salt), which perfectly emphasises the earthy notes of the mezcal.

This handcrafted mezcal is also an impressive cocktail ingredient. It unfolds its special flavour in drinks such as the Mezcal Negroni, Oaxaca Old Fashioned or a smoky margarita twist. In culinary terms, it harmonises perfectly with grilled meat, spicy tacos, smoked cheese or dark chocolate.
