Código 1530 Mezcal Ancestral Joven is a meticulously crafted spirit that honors centuries-old mezcal production traditions. Made from 100% Maguey Papalomé (Agave potatorum), this mezcal reflects the rich heritage and artisanal methods of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Nose: Sweet and earthy aromas with notes of honey, tobacco, and a subtle salinity from the clay distillation process.
Palate: Flavors of vanilla, cantaloupe, and bright minerality, complemented by hints of hazelnut and a touch of smoke.
Finish: Lingering and sweet, with a harmonious balance of earthy and sweet notes.
Why It Stands Out:
This mezcal is produced in partnership with a village of skilled artisans in San Juan del Rio, Oaxaca, who have been crafting mezcal for generations. The use of traditional methods, such as fermenting in leather vats and distilling in clay pots, imparts unique flavors and a distinct character to the spirit, making it a true representation of ancestral mezcal craftsmanship.
