Delirio de Oaxaca Joven Mezcal

Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Joven is meticulously handcrafted under the supervision of master distiller Fernando Santibañez. The heart of this joven is produced at a traditional palenque in Matatlán, Oaxaca, by Abel Lopez, a third generation grower and distiller. Abel cultivates Agave espadin to meet Mexican organic standards by Certimex. After approximately seven years, the agave is harvested by hand and cooked for three days in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and naturally fermented in open pine vats. The fermentation process is monitored by sight, sound, and smell. Following fermentation, the must is double-distilled in copper alembics, filtered and precisely blended to 84 proof. The final product has a robust profile with aroma of agave, soft fruit notes and semi-smoked character. Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Joven: 100% agave and certified by the Mexican government / COMERCA
