Mezcal Del Amigo Joven is an unaged mezcal made by Master Mezcalero Enrique Jimenez of Fidencio Mezcal. Made from espadin in the village of Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca, this mezcal is pit roasted with black oak, fermented with the solids by wild yeast, and double distilled in 500L wood fired copper pots. Del Amigo is a delicious mezcal at an exceptional value. It is medium bodied with aromas of roasted agave and clay, notes of sweet bbq and fresh rain, with medium acidity, a round mouthfeel, and a clean finish.
