Pierde Almas Mezcal
Cutwater Joven
Cutwater Joven is a mezcal defined by intense barnyard funk and distinct citrus notes. The nose presents lemon alongside sharp, cooked cheese aromas characteristic of the cenizo agave species. Smoke flavors appear artificial, resembling burned rubber rather than traditional wood fire. On the palate, the heavy funk recedes significantly, revealing a sugary sweetness and viscous texture. The mouthfeel offers pillowy softness with a short, inviting finish. This profile distinguishes it from other cenizo expressions in its price range while maintaining a unique aromatic complexity.
