Los Amantes Añejo is a mezcal distilled from 100% agave espadín in Tlacolula de Matamoros. The piñas, or hearts, of the agave are baked in a traditional stone oven before the juices are extracted and ground by an Egyptian-type stone mill powered by horses. The juices are then naturally fermented in wooden tubs before being double distilled. This añejo is aged for two years in mostly French oak barrels as well as some American oak barrels.

My first foray into aged Mezcal and this is a doozy. I really enjoyed the joven Los Amantes Mezcal and this does everything better. Lovely barbecue smoke, earthy and savory notes of green peppers, smoothed out and sweetened by the 2 years in Oak. This has a lot going on and I’m looking forward to discovering more with further tastes. 4.5 stars.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
