Cava de Oro Mezcal Artesanal Joven is an artisanal Oaxacan mezcal made from 100% Espadín agave, bottled at 84 proof with a balanced roasted-agave and gently smoky profile.
Produced in Oaxaca, Mexico from 100% Espadín agave (Agave angustifolia), Cava de Oro is made to showcase the natural character of the agave. Mature agaves are traditionally cooked, then crushed by tahona mill, fermented, and distilled in copper, developing the roasted agave and smoky notes associated with artisanal mezcal while preserving brighter citrus and vegetal flavors. Bottled at 84 proof, it offers body and aromatic intensity without pushing smoke to the forefront — an approachable yet expressive mezcal for sipping or cocktails.
