Pierde Almas Mezcal
Miel de Tierra Joven
Miel de Tierra Joven is a mezcal that mirrors tequila profiles rather than traditional smoky expressions. It presents cooked Tequilana agave notes on the nose alongside honey, grass, spice and citrus. The palate delivers unexpected creaminess and sweetness with sweet spices, a touch of agave and cocoa. This round mouthfeel supports medium length finish characterized by lingering sweet spice notes. While it offers a pleasant sip, its high level of mechanization sets it apart from more artisanal productions. This distinct character appeals to those seeking a different agave spirit profile without the typical smoke associated with many other varieties.

About the Brand
Miel de Tierra means Earth’s Honey, and the name comes from the sweet, amber-flushed tree sap, which can only be found in virgin barrels made of fresh natural oak timber. Given the name, Miel de Tierra has a robust barrel-aging program and they also have several unaged releases. Their location in southern Zacatecas makes them a fairly unique brand internationally.
