Casamigos Joven Mezcal is a refined expression of Mexico’s artisanal mezcal tradition, born from the vision of George Clooney and Rande Gerber, who set out to create spirits they would share with friends. Crafted in Oaxaca, Mexico, this mezcal embodies elegance and authenticity, a modern luxury interpretation of an ancient craft. Made in small batches from 100% Espadín agave, it balances the earthy smokiness mezcal is known for with a signature smoothness that defines the Casamigos brand.

Product Details:

Brand: Casamigos | Category: Mezcal (Joven) | ABV: 40% | Origin: Mexico (Oaxaca) | Agave Variety: 100% Espadín | Volume: 700ml

Tasting Profile:

Nose: Delicate yet expressive with aromas of smoke, earthy agave, fresh herbs, and hints of citrus peel. Notes of black pepper and mint rise as it opens.
Palate: Silky and well-balanced. Flavors of roasted agave, white pepper, and smoked almond mingle with touches of mineral, lemon zest, and subtle sweetness. Smooth and refined from start to finish.
Finish: Clean and lingering with gentle smoke, peppery spice, and a whisper of agave sweetness.

Production Details:

Crafted using traditional pit ovens lined with volcanic rock, the agave hearts are slow-roasted for days before being crushed by a stone tahona wheel. Fermented naturally for up to six days and double-distilled in copper pot stills, the mezcal is then rested to achieve perfect balance. Bottled at 40% ABV, Casamigos Joven retains the handcrafted essence of mezcal while refining its texture and smoke for exceptional smoothness.
