Amarás Mezcal Joven Reserva Especial Madrecuishe C2 (Spring 2023 Edition)
Artesanal Mezcal Joven | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 700 mL | Oaxaca, Mexico | 100% Madrecuishe Agave (Agave Karwinskii), Limited Edition

Process & Profile

Amarás Mezcal Joven Reserva Especial Madrecuishe C2 (Spring 2023 Edition) is crafted from 100% wild Madrecuishe agave, a rare subspecies of Agave Karwinskii native to the highlands of Oaxaca. Known for its elongated stalk and deep root system, this agave develops rich mineral complexity from the rocky terrain. The piñas are slow-roasted in conical stone pits, crushed by tahona, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper stills. Bottled joven at 43% ABV, this mezcal captures the essence of the Madrecuishe variety—structured, earthy, and elegant.
