Entre Besos Joven Espadín is a mezcal artesanal made from 100% Espadín agave using the capón method, bottled at 86 proof (43% ABV) in a 720ml bottle.
Capón means the flowering stalk, the quiote, is cut and the agave is left to rest in the field before harvest, so the plant concentrates its sugars. The result is a more robust, flavorful Espadín. The agave is cooked in earth or stone ovens, milled and fermented naturally, and the joven is bottled unaged to keep the purity of the agave rather than barrel influence.
It is crystal clear with platinum glints. The flavor shows red fruits, herbal and sweet notes, with aromas of fruit, almond, honey and fresh herbs, and a robust finish with the freshness of the countryside and an exotic touch of the tropics.
Entre Besos means between kisses, and the bottle makes a romantic gift.
Mezcal 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.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
