Mezcal Descartes Espadín Joven is an artisanal mezcal crafted from 100% organically grown Espadín agave, harvested after 8 to 10 years of maturation in San Luis del Río, Oaxaca. Under the expertise of third-generation Maestro Mezcalero Don Enrique Hernández Zenea, the agave hearts are cooked in a traditional conical underground oven using mesquite, tepehuaje, and oak woods, imparting a distinctive smoky character. The cooked agave is milled with a horse-drawn tahona, and fermentation occurs naturally over 8 to 10 days in open oak containers with native yeasts. Double distillation in copper stills ensures a refined spirit that embodies the rich heritage of mezcal production.
