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.
Gentle wood smoke and green bell pepper character, supported by notes of underripe green apple and just the faintest suggestion of blue cheese.
Medium-bodied and wonderfully linear, with a delicate mineral streak and subtle smokiness wrapped up in flavours of ripe tropical fruit.
Long and fruit-driven, with mango and a more powerful smokiness. A very classic, easy drinking style of Mezcal.

Pretty solid. Not your grandfathers mezcal
SOFT. Medium smoke. Slight kiwi, lime ( empty glass is very lime-y ). Blackberry, cherry, vanilla yogurt. Pine needles, woodsy. Gentle light rubber. Mild taste and aroma wise at first, but about 2 weeks in, the palate really does come out. The smoke remains mild, but the agave develops full, rich and spicy. Licorice. Baking spices. Hint of black pepper.
Espadin is the most common agave used for mezcal but this Montelobos is extremely well done compared to others.
