Artisanal Ensamble Mezcal Joven

Master Mezcalero

Crafted by Fernando Bustamante, a master mezcalero dedicated to blending tradition, precision, and the expressive nature of multiple agave varieties.

Origin

Produced in Santa Cruz Xitlapehua, Oaxaca, a region known for its deep mezcal heritage and artisanal production methods.

Agave

An ensemble mezcal made from a harmonious blend of Espadín, Madrecuixe, and Mexicano agaves
(Agave angustifolia Haw · Karwinskii · Rhodacantha), creating a complex and well-balanced profile.

Production Process

The agaves are cooked slowly in a stone oven using oak wood, allowing layered flavors to develop. Milling is performed with a traditional Egyptian mill, followed by natural fermentation in pinewood vats, guided by ancestral practices and lunar cycles.

Distillation

Double distilled (2 distillations) in a copper alembic, resulting in a mezcal that is clean, expressive, and structurally refined.

Tasting Notes

Bright and vibrant on the nose, with persistent herbal aromas, subtle woody nuances, and a distinct mineral character. On the palate, it offers cooked agave flavors with a clean, long-lasting expression. The finish is warm, prolonged, and elegantly balanced.
