Ojo de Tigre Joven Mezcal
Wild Agave Blend | Pit-Roasted | Fiery Smoke & Mineral Clarity
Available now at Liquor Boutique
Ojo de Tigre Joven Mezcal is crafted from a hand-selected blend of wild highland agaves—including Espadín, Cuishe, and Tobalá—harvested from remote mountain villages in Oaxaca. The piñas are slow-roasted in traditional stone-lined underground pits, crushed with a tahona wheel, fermented naturally with wild yeasts, and meticulously double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled at approximately 42–45% ABV, this joven mezcal is bold yet nuanced, offering a vibrant expression of terroir and craft.
