Mezcal Amarás Curandero 70cl is a masterful artisanal expression from the renowned Amarás distillery in Oaxaca, Mexico. Crafted from a thoughtful blend of Espadín and select indigenous agave varieties, it follows ancestral methods: slow-roasted in underground earthen pits (hornos), crushed by traditional stone tahona, naturally fermented, and twice distilled. This Joven mezcal pours crystal clear, opening with an inviting aromatic profile of earthy campfire smoke, fresh herbs, green vegetal notes, and bright citrus zest. On the palate, it delivers a robust, savory character with hints of brine, saline minerality, roasted agave sweetness, subtle spice, and a textured, creamy mouthfeel that leads to a long, balanced finish with lingering smoke and herbal depth. At 45% ABV, Curandero honors the “curandero” (traditional healer) spirit of Oaxacan culture, blending complexity, tradition, and approachability. Perfect for sipping neat to appreciate its nuance or in elevated cocktails that highlight its smoky, herbal core. A testament to Amarás’ commitment to sustainability and preserving rare agave heritage.
