Mezcal Yuu Baal Joven Espadin

48% ABV

Grupo Yuu Baal, S.A. de C.V., a 100% Mexican company, and a social enterprise that highlights the traditions of the native Oaxacan producers of Mezcal. At Yuu Baal mezcal production is an artisan process. Grupo Yuu Baal, is made up of producers in San Juan del Rio, San Luis del Rio Tiacolula and Miahuatlan, Oaxaca. The quality of the “magueys” begins in the earth and looking after it as well. This means that the complete cycle of production, planting, cutting and distillation, are done manually, all with absolute respect for our environment. Our Company is dedicated to the manufacturing, bottling and commercialization of Mezcal 100% agave, in three categories: Joven, Reposado and Añejo. 

The entry level espadin expression is made from estate grown agave baked and crushed by stone using traditional methods, and the pure, unadulterated character of the aromatics is evidence of the artisinal production. Roasted aromas of earth and spice eminate from the nose, and the palate brims with subtle smoke and a concentrated blast of tangy fruit and savory spice. The Yuu Baal espadin is hands down one of the best sub-$40 mezcales we've ever tasted. There may be a new king of Oaxacan spirits.
