Montelobos Joven Ensamble Mezcal is a bold expression of craft and tradition, blending multiple agave varieties into a spirit that captures the wild, smoky soul of artisanal mezcal. Where single-varietal mezcals invite you into one story, this ensamble opens an entire conversation.

Crafted under the creative vision of master distiller Josue Sanchez and developed in partnership with celebrated mixologist Ivy Mix, Montelobos is rooted in the rich mezcal-producing heritage of Oaxaca. The Joven Ensamble expression combines hand-selected agave species, each contributing its own character before being roasted in earthen pits, fermented traditionally, and double-distilled in copper pot stills. The result is a joven mezcal bottled without aging, preserving the full, unfiltered complexity of the ensamble.

• Nose: Earthy smoke, roasted agave, fresh herbs, and a thread of tropical fruit with light floral lift
• Palate: Layered and expressive with charred wood, green pepper, citrus zest, and a savory mineral quality that speaks to its multi-agave origin
• Finish: Long and smoky with lingering dried herbs, subtle sweetness, and a clean, dry close

Montelobos Joven Ensamble Mezcal holds its own in a Mezcal Negroni, where its smoky depth plays beautifully against sweet vermouth and Campari, or try it in an Oaxacan Old Fashioned alongside reposado tequila and mole bitters for a complex, spirit-forward sipper.

Best enjoyed neat or over a single large ice cube to let the ensamble unfold at its own pace. This is a joven mezcal made from multiple agave varieties, rooted in the traditions of Oaxaca.
