Mayalen Guerrero Mezcal

Mayalen produces their mezcal in the state of Guerrero, just north of Oaxaca where the majority of it is made. "Ague de Juventud" translates to "water of youth," referencing both the high mountain spring water with which the mezcal is made, but also its nature of being bottled fresh off the still. It is made with a field blend of wild cupreata agave, with meticulous processes from cutting to final distillation to ensure the fullest flavor of the fresh plant, including covering the fermenting crushed agave for a week with additional agave fibers to avoid contact with sunlight. The Guerrero is "inspired by those who are warriors at heart," a robust expression bottled at full cask strength, ranging 53 - 55% ABV.
