{"product_id":"del-amigo-mezcal-joven-1l","title":"Del Amigo Mezcal Joven 1L","description":"\u003cp\u003eDel Amigo is an unaged artisanal mezcal made from estate-grown Espadín by fourth-generation Maestro Mezcalero Enrique Jiménez of Fidencio Mezcal in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) in a 1-liter bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFounded in 2003, Del Amigo, meaning of the friend, is the 100% family-owned and Mexican-owned brand of Enrique Jiménez. The Espadín agaves are grown to maturity on the family estate, cooked partly in a stone-lined earthen pit over black oak, milled partly on a pink quartz tahona, fermented with wild yeast in open pine vats with the agave fibers, and distilled twice in small wood-fired copper pot stills. It is made with strict attention to quality and tradition, as a mainstay for cocktails that is also a smooth sipper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFresh and smoky, it shows roasted agave, citrus and warm smoke with tropical fruit on the nose, smooth roasted-agave sweetness and green fruit on the palate, and a medium-long, warming finish of smoke and agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe generous 1-liter bottle makes it a great gift for entertaining.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, citrus, warm smoke, tropical fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave sweetness, green fruit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warming smoke and agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Del Amigo, est. 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaestro:\u003c\/strong\u003e Enrique Jiménez, Fidencio Mezcal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% estate-grown Espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Earthen pit and tahona, wild-yeast pine vats, wood-fired copper pots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 86 proof (43% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it as your mezcal for Margaritas, Palomas and Negronis, or sip it neat.
