Fidencio Unico Joven Mezcal (750 ml)

Description

Fidencio Mezcal is a product of four generations of expertise, utilizing their own estate-grown agave. Fidencio Mezcal is produced at the distiller/palenque Fabrica de Amigo del Mezcal. The brand's namesake, Fidencio Jiménez, began his mezcal-making journey over a century ago when he relocated to Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. There, he immersed himself in the life of a Mezcalero, acquiring knowledge through trial and error and learning from his peers. Fidencio worked tirelessly with his son Enrique to hone their craft and pass down their expertise to the next generation. Back then, even the equipment used was locally sourced, with clay pots for fermentation, distillation, and storage, and river reeds for tubing.

Fidencio Unico undergoes distillation in a specialized, wood-fired Alembic still that was custom-made by their mezcalero, Enrique Jiménez. The mezcal is double-distilled and then bottled. It boasts a slightly sweet profile, with nuanced notes of charcoal, green apple, and pear in its aroma. The flavor profile progresses from a hint of smokiness to ripe fruit flavors.
