Pelton de La Muerte Joven Mezcal

Wild Highland Espadín | Pit-Roasted | Bold Smoke & Mineral Complexity

Available now at Liquor Boutique

Pelton de La Muerte Joven is a striking mezcal crafted from wild-grown Espadín agave harvested in the rugged highlands of Oaxaca. The piñas are slow-roasted in underground wood-fired pits, milled with a tahona stone wheel, fermented naturally with native yeasts, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. Bottled at approximately 42–45% ABV, this joven mezcal offers a powerful, terroir-rich profile with bold character and layered depth.

Tasting Notes:

• Color: Crystal-clear joven style

• Nose: Intense roasted agave, flint smoke, mountain herbs (eucalyptus, sage), and a hint of lime zest

• Palate: Robust agave sweetness meets concentrated flinty minerals, graphite-like earthiness, peppery spice, and assertive smoke

• Finish: Long and expressive—lingering smoke and savory herbal notes with subtle citrus and mineral persistence
