Mezcal Meteoro Joven: Legend in a Bottle

Mezcal Meteoro takes its name from a local legend in Las Margaritas, Oaxaca, where a falling star reportedly created a perfect earthen pit. Local master mezcaleros saw this as a divine gift and used the crater to roast their agave, giving birth to a spirit of extraordinary purity. This Joven Espadín is a tribute to that tradition.

It is an artisanal mezcal produced with a commitment to the most ancestral methods: 100% Espadín agave (Agave angustifolia), roasted in underground conical stone ovens, crushed by a traditional tahona (stone wheel), and fermented naturally with wild yeasts in open-air oak vats.

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Crystal clear with high luminosity and a distinctive pearling that speaks to its artisanal proof.

Aroma: A sophisticated balance of smoke and earth. You’ll find notes of damp earth and roasted maguey, followed by a bright, citrusy lift of lemon peel and a faint hint of pine needles.

Palate: The entry is remarkably smooth for a Joven. It leads with a sweet, cooked agave core, quickly opening into flavors of green apple, white pepper, and a subtle salinity. The smoke is integrated and elegant, never overpowering, reminiscent of a fading campfire.

Finish: Long and clean with a lingering mineral tingle and a soft, sweet herbal smoke that invites another sip.

Why It Stands Out

Artisanal Integrity: Produced in small batches in Oaxaca, ensuring the nuances of the Espadín agave are fully expressed.

The "Goldilocks" Smoke: It strikes a perfect balance, making it accessible for those new to mezcal while maintaining the complexity demanded by aficionados.

Iconic Packaging: The bottle, with its distinctive cork and wire cage, reflects the spirit's rustic elegance, making it a standout on any back bar or home collection.
