Mitre Espadin Joven Mezcal

Mitre Espadín Joven Mezcal is an artisanal mezcal produced and bottled in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, a community deeply associated with traditional mezcal production. Made entirely from Espadín agave, Mitre is designed around a balance of agave sweetness, herbal freshness, citrus, minerality, and smoke rather than allowing heavy smokiness to dominate the spirit.

Production follows traditional methods. Mature Espadín agaves, which the producer states are harvested at approximately 8–10 years old, are slowly cooked in conical stone ovens before traditional milling.

Tasting Notes
Nose: Cooked agave opens into fresh citrus and herbal aromas, with agave leaf, earthy mineral character, and a light underlying smokiness providing additional complexity.

Palate: Smooth and fresh with cooked agave, citrus, herbs, and mineral notes supported by lively acidity. Gentle smoke and a subtle spicy quality emerge underneath without overwhelming the natural sweetness of the Espadín.

Finish: Long and pleasantly dry with lingering herbs, citrus bitterness, cooked agave, mineral notes, and a measured smoky character.
