Pelotón De La Muerte Maguey Espadín Joven Mezcal Artesanal (1L) *

Mezcal from Oaxaca, the agave heartland of southern Mexico, this Pelotón de la Muerte expression uses maguey espadín as its base spirit. Joven (unaged) mezcal offers the raw character of the roasted agave and the distillery's own hand, without the softening that oak brings. Here, the producer works in the artesanal tradition, emphasizing small-batch methods and the direct flavor of the plant itself.

Expect the minerality and smoke that define espadín mezcal, grounded in the particular terroir of Oaxaca and the producer's roasting and distillation choices. Joven mezcal is at its most vibrant when sipped neat or over ice, where its complexity can unfold without competing flavors. It also makes an excellent base for mezcal cocktails, where its character will shine through rather than fade.
