• Agave is roasted in underground pit ovens, creating its signature smoky profile
• Crushed and naturally fermented
• Double-distilled in copper stills

What distinguishes this expression is its higher proof and concentrated cut, capturing more of the agave’s natural oils and intensity.

Key details:

• 100% Espadín agave
• Artisanal production methods
• 102 proof (51% ABV)
• Unaged (Joven / Silver) style

The result is a mezcal that emphasizes clarity, structure, and bold flavor rather than softness.
