The Flagship Joven

It's the reference point for the whole line. Explore the Yuu Baal range and more artisan mezcal.
Tasting Notes
Per brand copy: roasted aromas of earth and spice with a subtle smoke, then a concentrated blast of tangy fruit and savory spice on the palate. Full-bodied at 96 proof, with the clean, vivid finish of a well-made joven Espadín.
How to Enjoy
Neat to appreciate it, or as the backbone of a mezcal cocktail — its 48% ABV stands up to citrus, agave syrup, and smoke in equal measure.
