Produced in Santa Ana Del Rio, Oaxaca, Mexico through classical artisanal production, this Mezcal Artesenal Joven from El Cabrón is produced with agave cooked in an underground conical hole with rocks, fire, and wood. It's then ground with a round stone rock, which is pulled by a horse using the traditional method and fermented in a 1,000-litre wooden barrel, before being double-distilled in a copper still. A great introduction to mezcal!
