Casa Montelobos

Montelobos Joven Mezcal is made with espadin agave and carefully crafted by Iván Saldaña. This offers up a well-balanced blend of roasted agave notes, herbaceous elements and a classic whiff of smoke. It also offers a really stylish bottle with a rather ferocious-looking wolf on the label.

Prepare yourselves for this Pechuga Mezcal from Montelobos. Firstly, it's made with Espadin agave, though the secret (not so secret) ingredient is added before the final distillation, when a turkey breast is suspended in the still alongside other local fruits and spices. This is done for good reason

This joven mezcal from Montelobos is produced in Puebla, from a partnership between founder Iván Saldaña and the Alva family who have been growing Tobalá agave for many years. It's produced exclusively from the cultivated Tobalá agave, which are roasted for up to a week in a pit in the ground before

While the classic Montelobos Joven Mezcal is made using espadin agave, the Ensamble expression gives the espadin some friends to play with. This edition features tobala and papalote agave alongside espadin, resulting in a slightly more herbaceous and smoke-driven flavour profile.
