Clase Azul Guerrero Mezcal Joven Limited Edition (75cl, 42%)

A joven mezcal from Clase Azul, made from 100% papalote agave (Agave cupreata) wild-harvested in Guerrero, Mexico. The agave can take up to 15 years to mature. It is cooked for three to four days in a pit oven with volcanic rock and Guamuchil firewood, then distilled in a copper alembic still. The mezcal is unaged and arrives in a hand-crafted jade-green ceramic decanter with an Olinala-lacquered cap. Tasting notes include grapefruit skin, fresh wood, rosemary and peanut oil on the nose, with fresh wood, seaweed, lemon juice and pepper on the palate.
