It is a fully vertical operation: the family grows its own Espadín (Agave angustifolia Haw) and makes everything at its own palenque. After roasting, the piñas are crushed by tahona, fermented with wild open-air yeasts and double distilled in copper. As a joven, it is bottled young without barrel aging to preserve the purity of the agave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA perfectly balanced aroma of orange blossom, honeydew and fresh olives leads to a palate with hints of anise, apple and orange oils, complemented by a pronounced saline character and a mild touch of smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue agave-print label makes it a striking gift.\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\u003cp\u003eMezcal 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orange blossom, honeydew, fresh olives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anise, apple, orange oils, saline.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mild smoke, sweet and earthy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mateo family, Los Javis palenque\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven mezcal artesanal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProcess:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tahona, wild yeast, double copper pot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNOM:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0134X\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 41.31%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oaxaca, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePour it neat with orange slices and sal de gusano, or use it in a mezcal Margarita, Paloma or mezcal Negroni.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Mateo family, led by maestro mezcalero Javier Mateo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is a joven, bottled young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it taste?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrange blossom, honeydew, olives, anise and a saline finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Los Javis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083780682037,"sku":"VWS_3738","price":41.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-24329.webp?v=1794004832","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/los-javis-espadin-joven-mezcal-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
