Amarás Mezcal Joven Americana
Artesanal Mezcal Joven | 40% ABV (80 Proof) | 750 mL | Oaxaca, Mexico | 100% Agave Americana, Sustainable Production
Process & Profile
Amarás Mezcal Joven Americana is an artisanal mezcal crafted from 100% Agave Americana, a large and rare agave species cultivated in the highlands of Oaxaca. Known for its thick piñas and balanced sugar profile, this agave variety imparts a naturally sweet, creamy, and herbal character to the mezcal. The piñas are roasted in conical stone pits using local hardwoods, tahona-crushed, naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats, and double-distilled in copper stills. Bottled joven at 40% ABV, this expression delivers a soft, fruit-forward mezcal ideal for both sipping and cocktail creation.
