Oax Original Arroqueno Joven 750 ml

Oax Original Arroqueño Joven is a mezcal, not a tequila, made from Arroqueño, a large wild agave that grows in Oaxaca, Mexico and is prized for its size and long maturation. This bottle follows mezcal's traditional production methods rather than tequila's. Expect a nose of honey, vanilla, and light spice, a palate that's smooth and fruity with sweet agave notes, and a warm, rounded finish. It's a good introduction to lesser-common wild agave varietals beyond the more familiar espadín-based mezcals. Works well for both neat sipping and as a base for mezcal cocktails.

How to drink Oax Original Arroqueño Joven
