Los Javis Cerrudo is made in Santiago Matatlan, the “Mezcal Capital of the World,” which is just outside Oaxaca City.
About this mezcal
Los Javis Cerrudo is made with maguey Cerrudo in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. The agave used to make this mezcal were roasted in an underground oven, crushed by horse drawn tahona, fermented with open air yeasts, and double distilled in a copper pot still.
Los Javis Mezcal
Mezcal Los Javis is a family owned and operated distillery. Their palenque was built in Santiago Matatlan in 1979, and the Los Javis brand was founded in 2003 by Javier Mateo and his wife. The couple made a promise to plant and harvest the highest quality agave to create a mezcal of the finest variety. So fine that it would carry the family name, Javier, for three generations. Father, son, and grandson (all named Javier) began their journey when Javier Senior instilled in his family the quality and heritage of the mezcal making process.

47.59 ABV
Cerrudo (agave Americana)
Very ripe pear, mango, honeysuckle and slightly warming on the nose. Flavor is buttered corn, honey, a bit of bbq sauce (without the tanginess), papaya and fresh ash after you knock off some spent embers. (Not old smoke). Some anise in the background. Buttery initial impact on mouth feel. The white pepper heat, ash and flavors are well balanced. The heat lingers on the tongue as the butter and honey notes come through again the retro hale.
