{"product_id":"zignum-mezcal-joven-silver-750ml","title":"Zignum Mezcal Joven Silver 750ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eZignum Silver is an unaged, 100% Espadín mezcal from Oaxaca, made at Casa Armando Guillermo Prieto (NOM O50X) in Tlacolula de Matamoros.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZignum takes a modern approach to mezcal. Rather than roasting the agave hearts in underground pits, the 100% Espadín is steam-cooked in autoclaves at a large, modern production facility, one of the largest spirits producers in Oaxaca. That method sets it apart from most mezcals with a notably low-smoke profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnaged after distillation, the Silver puts the agave front and center. It is a smooth, approachable introduction for drinkers who prefer bright agave flavor to heavy smoke, and it earned an A- rating from Good Spirits News.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt brings bright citrus and sweet green agave notes with minimal smoke, light on the palate and clean on the finish. Enjoy it the traditional way, at room temperature in a veladora glass with an orange slice and salt, alongside a beer, or in classic cocktails.\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\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrus, sweet green agave.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Light citrus and agave, minimal smoke.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Short and clean.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Casa Armando Guillermo Prieto, Oaxaca (NOM O50X)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joven (silver) mezcal, unaged\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAgave:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Espadín\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooking:\u003c\/strong\u003e Steam (autoclave)\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\u003eSip it with an orange slice and salt, or mix it into a Margarita, a Paloma or a Mezcal Mule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it smoky?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eVery little: the agave is steam-cooked, so it has a low-smoke profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat agave is used?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e100% Espadín.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it aged?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is unaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/mezcal\"\u003eMezcal collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zignum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68083774980405,"sku":"VWS_200423231","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-28568.webp?v=1794004724","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/zignum-mezcal-joven-silver-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
