Casamigos Mezcal (37.5cl, 40%)

Casamigos Mezcal is a joven mezcal made from 100% Espadin agave in Oaxaca, Mexico. It is produced by a fourth-generation family of mezcaleros who slow-cook Espadin agave piñas for four to six days in earthen pits, then crush, ferment for six to eight days and double-distill in covered copper pot stills. It is bottled at 40% ABV in a 375ml format. The nose has roasted agave, fresh herbal mint, dried oregano, thyme, prickly pear, red apple and gentle smoke. The palate brings tropical fruit such as tamarind, pomegranate and ripe mango, with banana, delicate smoke, mineral notes and licorice. The finish is long and silky, with lime zest, green pepper, roasted pineapple and eucalyptus.
