Bottled at 40% ABV in a 750 ml format, Negro Mate Mezcal Joven skips barrel time entirely. As a joven, it goes from still to bottle, leaving the agave itself front and center alongside the smoke that comes from traditional mezcal production.
The result is a spirit shown in its unaltered state: agave and smoke lead, with peppery spice, herbal notes and a touch of citrus filling in around them. Nothing is layered on top by wood, so the character of the agave carries the glass.
Negro Mate focuses on traditional methods of making mezcal, with attention paid to the quality of the agave and the authentic smoke character that comes with it.
