Amarás Mezcal Reserva Especial Arroqueño C2 (Spring 2024 Edition)
Artesanal Mezcal Joven | 43% ABV (86 Proof) | 700 mL | Oaxaca, Mexico | 100% Arroqueño Agave, Limited Edition

Process & Profile

Amarás Mezcal Reserva Especial Arroqueño C2 (Spring 2024 Edition) is a rare joven mezcal produced from 100% wild Arroqueño agave (Agave americana var. oaxacensis) harvested in the Sierra Sur region of Oaxaca. The agaves, matured for over 12 years, are roasted in conical stone pits using a blend of native woods, crushed by tahona, and naturally fermented in open-air wooden vats. The liquid is double-distilled in copper stills, preserving the wild agave’s depth and mineral complexity. Bottled at 43% ABV, this limited C2 batch showcases an exceptionally high concentration of agave sugars, offering a dense, layered, and elegant mezcal experience.

How to Enjoy

Enjoy Amarás Mezcal Reserva Especial Arroqueño C2 neat in a copita or tulip glass to appreciate its full aroma and mineral-driven flavor.
