Origen Raiz del Espiritu Madrecuishe Joven Mezcal hails from Oaxaca, Mexico, a region renowned for its rich mezcal heritage.

The taste is balanced by a subtle smokiness, characteristic of the traditional production methods. The nose is equally inviting, with an aroma of roasted agave, citrus zest, and a touch of green pepper, creating a harmonious and intriguing sensory experience.
