Rosaluna Mezcal Joven

About Rosaluna Mezcal Joven

Rosaluna Mezcal is made by a sister and brother duo, JJ and Frida Méndez León Jiménez, in the small village of Santiago Matatlán, also known as the “World Capital of Mezcal.” Their family has been lovingly creating the spirit and perfecting the craft in the heart of beautiful Oaxaca for over six generations. With an experienced team of brand builders who appreciate the finer things in life on the business side of the venture, they have created a mezcal that is designed to get you hooked on the magic of this unique spirit.

Agaves for the Rosaluna Mezcal grow for up to eight years in the Matatlán soil, which gives the mezcal earthy notes later in the process. The agaves are nurtured, and constantly cleaned by hand, and when they are ready, the heart of the agave is harvested, and the leaves (pencas) are removed in order to get only the pineapple (piña), which contains the most sweetness. Piñas are roasted over pinewood fire for up to five days, and then mashed or milled. After adding water to the agave juice and fiber, the mash is left to ferment for up to eight days, and the result is double distilled to create the final spirit of Rosaluna.

Rosaluna is an all-natural, handmade mezcal, created for a modern consumer who appreciates this spirit’s simplicity and close connection to the nature. It is made of only two ingredients – hand selected 8-year-old agave and water – and with lots of love and respect for the craft. Rosaluna mezcal is a single-estate product, which means that the agaves are grown, harvested, cooked, fermented and distilled, and the handcrafted spirit is bottled on the estate, giving the distillers complete control over the quality and consistency of the end product. The production of this artisan spirit is carbon neutral. This mezcal was created with everyone in mind, and is the perfect pick for the mezcal newbie or the mezcal connoisseur.

About Mezcal

Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from roasted agave plants between two days and two weeks, which gives it a distinct smokey flavor.
What scotch is for whisk(e)y, mezcal is for tequila.

It can be made from different types of agave in different parts of Mexico, but most of it (60%) comes from the state of Oaxaca. Mezcal offers a large diversity of flavor profiles and ranges between 40 and 55% ABV.
