Ojo de Tigre Mezcal Artesanal Joven 100% agave 37% vol. 0.7 l - an artisan mezcal that combines tradition and modern elegance. The name "Ojo de Tigre" (eye of the tiger) stands for strength, character and a unique taste experience. This mezcal is produced according to old, tried and tested methods, using only 100% agave.
This Mezcal Joven is made from a special combination of two agave varieties: Espadín (from Oaxaca) and Tobalá (from Puebla). The blend of these two agaves gives it an exceptional balance of gentle smokiness, fruity nuances and spicy depth. After harvesting, the agave hearts (piñas) are traditionally roasted in earth pits, then crushed in stone mills, fermented in wooden barrels and finally distilled in copper stills.
An elegant mezcal for beginners and connoisseurs, which offers a particularly balanced taste experience thanks to its gentle smokiness and the combination of two fine agave varieties. Ideal for mezcal fans looking for a soft, accessible variant with an authentic character.
