Vámonos Riendo Joven Mezcal
Wild Highland Agave | Pit-Roasted | Earthy Smoke & Citrus Lift
Available now at Liquor Boutique
Vámonos Riendo Joven is an expressive mezcal crafted from wild-harvested Espadín and other mountain agaves grown in the Oaxacan highlands. The piñas are slowly roasted in traditional underground pits, crushed using a tahona stone wheel, naturally fermented, and double-distilled in small copper stills. Bottled at around 42% ABV, this joven delivers a balanced and lively mezcal experience that plays between smoky depth and fresh agave brightness.
