Sombra Joven Mezcal

Wild & Cultivated Agave Blend | Pit-Roasted | Balanced Smoke & Herbal Freshness

Available now at Liquor Boutique

Sombra Joven Mezcal is crafted from a blend of wild-harvested and estate-grown agave—predominantly Espadín with seasonal additions like Tobalá or Cuishe—sourced from the highlands of Oaxaca. The agave hearts are slowly roasted in traditional subterranean wood-fired pits, milled with a tahona wheel, fermented naturally with native yeasts, and double-distilled in copper stills. Bottled at 42% ABV, it offers a harmonious and expressive young mezcal profile.
