About this bottle

This mezcal is made using agave grown and harvested sustainably through the company's Grower Support Program. Kimo Sabe, meaning "trusted friend," employs a mix of modern and traditional methods: agave is steam-cooked in ovens and milled, alongside agave roasted in open pits and crushed with tahonas. These separate batches are fermented individually, blended, and then distilled three times in a pot-still. The joven is bottled unaged at 43% ABV.

Ellie Crandall 3.5

A smooth agave spirit from Distillery Code NOM-O286X. It begins with a clean profile of agave, citrus, and a hint of saffron; its balanced and full maturation adds earthy, vegetal, and orange peel notes; concluding with a smooth and delicate finish featuring ripe fruits and peppercorn. Experienced in May, June, November, and December of 2019.

Jacoby Durham 3.8

Chocolatey earthy notes, minerals, clay, slightly smoky on the finish. Sweet melon and vanilla. A nice sipping mezcal.

Jaden Alcantar 3.8

In my opinion, this is their top Mezcal. It's not as intense as I'd prefer, but it's excellent in cocktails!

Maudie Christopher 5.0

This is my new favorite for making margaritas. It adds a flavor dimension that tequila doesn't possess.

Elias Karr 2.5

Sampled neat at a bar. It tastes more like tequila than mezcal; I was hoping for more smokiness.

Terrie Smallwood

Smooth with a subtle smokiness.
