Denominación de Origen (DO) del Mezcal: Mezcal is a distilled spirit made from fermented agave. In order to be called a mezcal, the spirit must meet certain requirements outlined by COMERCAM, the governing body for mezcal.
Location: Fidencio Mezcal comes from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. Mezcal must come from one of the seven mezcal producing states in México.
Joven: This young mezcal has aromas of pears and kirsch on the nose. It displays robust flavors of Espadín Agave and a strong sense of earth on the palate. The finish is soft yet spicy and lingering. An elegant and smooth mezcal that is delicious on its own and shows versatility in cocktails, setting it apart from all other mezcals.
Spirits Journal, March 2010 "Clear and impeccably clean. Offers slightly sweet and subtle aromas of road tar, charcoal, and baked green apple in the opening sniffs; after aeration, the baked apple morphs to baked pear as the bouquet goes from slightly smokey to ripe orchard fruit. Entry is gently sweet, round, firm, and ripe; mid-palate is gracefully pitched, with a taste profile of tree sap, maple, candied nuts, ripe agave pulp, and refined sugar. Ends on a honeyed note that is chewey and appealingly sweet."
