Apaluz Artesanal Joven Mezcal 1L

Discover the Essence of Authentic Mezcal

Experience the rich heritage of mezcal with Apaluz Artesanal Joven Mezcal. Crafted by the skilled hands of mezcalero Antonio Panuco, affectionately known as "The Tiger," this mezcal is a testament to three generations of dedication in the heart of Durango, Mexico. Using mature, estate-grown agave Durangensis, each plant is carefully selected after 12 years of growth, ensuring a premium quality spirit.

Traditional Craftsmanship

The journey of Apaluz Joven begins with a meticulous cooking process. For three days, the agave is roasted in a volcanic stone oven, fueled by the aromatic woods of huizache, pine, and oak. This traditional method infuses the mezcal with its signature smoky notes. The cooked agave is then hand-mashed with sharp axes, preserving the authentic artisanal touch.

Fermentation and Distillation

Fermentation takes place in oak wood vats, where the agave mingles with proprietary yeast and pure well-water. The final distillation occurs in a copper pot still, covered with a thick piece of pine, enhancing the mezcal's complex flavors. The result is a spirit with a full-bodied aroma, a palate bursting with citrus, honey, and almond notes, and a clean, crisp finish.
