Mezcal Joven
Mezcal Vago // Oaxaca, Mexico
Cuixe agaves take up to fifteen years to mature, at which point the plant has developed a tree-trunk like stalk that can reach ten feet in height.
This bottling is the only variety Aquilino makes from wild agaves; the rest are made from plants farmed by Aquilino himself or one of his neighbors.

Tasting Notes
"Beef jerky and cigarette smoke? The sheer vividness and novelty of these aromas warrant attention. Nosing this brings to mind a few peated scotches, but one sip leaves no doubt you are tasting an agave spirit. The palate is woodsy, vibrant and complex, the alcohol well-integrated, and the finish long and flavorful, but the dark, austere, almost brutal flavor profile means this isn't exactly the easiest-drinking spirit out there."
