Description

In Puebla, the Alva family works with Montelobos founder Iván Saldaña to make this Joven Ensamble. The family brings more than 15 years of agave cultivation experience. The mezcal combines Cupreata, Espadín and tails from Montelobos Tobalá. Those three elements form the basis of the blend.

Earthy and herbal aromas lead, followed by wildflowers and a little spice. Gentle smoke adds another layer to the nose. The palate opens with cooked-agave sweetness before moving toward earthy and vegetal flavors. Herbal and floral details sit alongside the smoke, which remains measured throughout the taste. The combination keeps sweetness, earth and green notes in balance.

Serve neat in a traditional mezcal glass. Take small sips and leave time to follow the different agave elements as the flavors develop.

Appearance: Montelobos Mezcal Artesanal Joven Ensamble showcases a pale straw color, hinting at its purity and natural essence.

Nose: The aroma is a captivating blend of earthiness and herbal notes. The agave Cupreata contributes a complex bouquet with hints of wildflowers and subtle spice, while the maguey Espadin adds a gentle smokiness. There's a delicate herbal undertone that enhances the overall aromatic profile.

Palate: On the palate, the mezcal begins with a gentle sweetness, reminiscent of cooked agave, which slowly gives way to the earthy and vegetal characteristics of the Cupreata and Espadin agaves. The smokiness is present but not overpowering, providing a balanced backdrop to the herbal and floral notes. The integration of these agaves results in a well-rounded and harmonious flavor profile.

Finish: Montelobos Mezcal Ensamble leaves a satisfying and medium-length finish. The herbal and floral notes linger, complemented by a subtle smokiness that continues to evolve on the palate, inviting you to savor the mezcal's complexity.
