Fidencio Madrecuixe Joven Mezcal

• Aroma: Opens with a vegetal and floral bouquet. Key scents include roasted agave, fresh earth, and light citrus. Some reviewers also note brighter hints of lime, eucalyptus, and fresh rain.
• Palate: A medium-to-full-bodied experience that starts with mineral-rich soil and red clay, transitioning into mountain herbs like oregano, thyme, and pine. It features a balanced smokiness that doesn't overpower.
• Finish: A long, clean, and dry finish. Subtle lingering notes of leather, stone, and a touch of toffee or caramelized sugar sweetness round out the sip.
• Texture: Described as unctuous and velvety, providing a fresh yet bold mouthfeel. 

Production & Craftsmanship

• Agave: Responsibly sourced wild Madrecuixe agave, typically harvested after 12 to 18 years of growth to ensure maximum sugar concentration.
• Cooking: Agave hearts (piñas) are slow-roasted for five days in an underground earthen pit lined with volcanic rocks and heated by black oak.
• Milling & Fermentation: The roasted agave is crushed using a traditional stone Tahona and fermented naturally with wild yeasts in open-top pine vats.
• Distillation: Double-distilled in copper alembic stills
