Yuu Baal Joven Madrecuishe Mezcal (37.5cl, 48%)

A joven mezcal made from wild Madrecuishe agave by mezcalero Alberto Ortiz at his palenque in Santa María la Pila, Oaxaca. It is the only Yuu Baal expression produced there. Production runs from underground pit-roasting and tahona milling through natural fermentation and copper distillation. The agave is a tall, slender karwinskii type with herbal, mineral-driven character. The profile is herbal and vegetal, with green vegetation, wet earth and mineral on the nose, stone fruit, savory cooking herbs, sweet cooked agave and restrained smoke on the palate, and peppercorn and agave nectar on the finish.
