Unión works with a network of more than 50 families of mezcaleros throughout Oaxaca, a cooperative structure designed to preserve traditional techniques while supporting sustainable livelihoods, and its name and philosophy grew out of that unity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe agaves, matured eight to fourteen years, are harvested, cut and roasted for four days, then crushed by tahona, fermented, double distilled in copper pot stills and expertly blended. The Cirial, a wild agave, adds soft fruit notes and body not often found in young mezcals, while the smoke is kept understated to let the fruit shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose come pear, green applewood, smoke and wet soil. The palate brings Encino oak firewood, pear, green apple and citrus, with the sweetness of Espadín evolving into citrus and herbal tones from the Cirial and a clean finish. It has earned 92 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidely popular in Mexico and the US as a go-to cocktail mezcal, it is best enjoyed in a Mezcal Paloma, and equally good in a Mezcal Margarita or sipped neat with orange slices.\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 Pear, green applewood, smoke, wet soil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Encino firewood, pear, green apple, citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clean, light wood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mezcal Unión, San Baltazar Guelavila, Oaxaca\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e Espadín and wild Cirial, 8-14 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-day roast, tahona, double distilled in copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\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\u003eMix a Mezcal Paloma or a Mezcal Margarita, or sip it neat with orange slices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat agaves are used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFarm-grown Espadín and wild Cirial.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA network of more than 50 mezcalero families across Oaxaca.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it very smoky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the smoke is understated to highlight fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mezcal Unión","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68039720730933,"sku":"VWS_7086","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-29725.webp?v=1793834696","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/mezcal-union-uno-joven-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
