Casamigos Mezcal Joven 80 Proof

Casamigos Mezcal Joven drinks easily neat, over a large cube, or in a simple mezcal cocktail. Fresh mint gives the opening a cool edge, while tamarind adds a tangy counterpoint. Pomegranate brings a fruit note without taking the profile away from its herbal side. At 80 proof (40% ABV), it has enough presence to remain distinct in a mixed drink.

Made from Espadín agave, this joven mezcal offers a plainspoken introduction to the category. Mezcal’s characteristic smoke comes from roasting agave in underground pits; here, that smoke stays subtle rather than dominating the other flavors. The combination of herbs, fruit, and gentle smoke makes it flexible for casual sipping or familiar cocktails. The 750 mL size suits a home bar and provides an approachable way to keep mezcal in regular rotation.
