Alacrán Joven

Oaxaca

Alacrán Joven is a 100% Espadin mezcal available at 46 percent ABV. The nose offers restrained smoke and faint vanilla notes on the first impression. Palate flavors lean toward sweet agave with a dominant capsicum presence in the mid palate. Some perceptions include mild lemon and vanilla sweetness, while others note a bland profile with muddled sugar water undertones. This spirit serves well as a decent sipper and is good for mixing drinks despite its limited complexity, offering a straightforward profile for daily consumption.
