While many entry-level mezcals are diluted to 40%, this expression is bottled at a more robust 45%, keeping the complex flavors of roasted agave front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoasted agave leads, with citrus zest, herbs, earthy minerality and gentle smoke in a bold, clean and vibrant profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe agave-etched label makes it a handsome 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\u003cp\u003eEspadín is the most widely cultivated agave for mezcal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarthen pit roasting gives mezcal its signature smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it in a copita or small glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pairs with grilled meats, mole and tacos al pastor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe liter size is great for gatherings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Roasted agave, gentle smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrus, herbs, minerality.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold, clean, vibrant.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vivo Clandestino\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 Earthen pit, natural fermentation, double copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 90 proof (45% ABV)\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 1L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat with orange slices, or mix a Mezcal Margarita or Paloma; the liter bottle is ideal for parties.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 45%?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo keep the roasted agave flavors front and center.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat agave is used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Espadín.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it taste?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRoasted agave, citrus, herbs and gentle smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vivo Clandestino","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023587340597,"sku":"VWS200433887","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-25053.webp?v=1793662409","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/vivo-clandestino-mezcal-joven-1l","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
