Campante Joven, Espadin & Barril Mezcal is a small-batch Mezcal that’s hand-crafted by Maestro Mezcalero Raúl Rodríguez Reyes in Ejutla, Oaxaca. Reyes uses a combination of ripe Espadin and Barril agave. He cooks the mature agave hearts in conical stone ovens, covers them with soil and dried pulp, and then grounds them with a traditional tahona mill. The fermentation in a wood sabino is followed by a double distillation in copper stills. His secret? He distills the two varietals separately and cold blends them together. Clocking in at a respectable 40% ABV, this a balanced, smoky, and fruity Mezcal that can be enjoyed neat or in a tasty cocktail.
