Mezcal Union - El Viejo Mezcal 750ml

Mezcal Union El Viejo is a masterfully crafted unaged spirit that honors the rich traditions of Mexico. The name translates to the old man. It pays tribute to the local elder who inspired the brand to focus on unity and collaboration. Today, this mission empowers local farmers and distillers to build their own successful businesses.

This premium spirit is an Ensamble, blending cultivated Espadin agave aged six to eight years with wild-harvested Tobala agave matured for eight to fourteen years. The production process stays true to the Mezcal Artesanal classification. The agave hearts are cooked in traditional earthen pits using oak and mesquite wood. This classic method imparts a distinct, rich smoke that sets it apart from mass-produced options.

In the glass, Mezcal Union El Viejo offers a captivating aromatic profile. You will notice warm scents of raw agave, sweet cinnamon, and rich butter. On the palate, it delivers a complex and smooth taste. Flavors of mineral stone, rich butter, and native hawthorn fruit shine through beautifully. The finish is long and memorable, leaving pleasant notes of pink pepper and cocoa.

Because it is a Joven mezcal, the vibrant agave flavors remain front and center. Its robust and layered profile makes it perfect for sipping neat. It also serves as an excellent base for high-quality cocktails. For a true pairing experience, enjoy it alongside guava and sweet cheese paste.
