Box Mezcal 'Experience' Yuu Baal

The Yuu Baal group is a completely Mexican company and represents a social enterprise that aims to safeguard and promote the customs of the native Mezcal producers of Oaxaca, the state that overlooks the southwestern coast of Mexico and showcases the most exquisitely traditional character at a cultural and gastronomic level. The producers who come together in the enterprise are from the towns of San Juan del Rio, San Luis del Rio, Tlacolula, Miahuatlan, and the capital Oaxaca: they are all dedicated to caring for the land, aware that the quality of the blue agave plants depends solely on an unspoiled natural environment. The complete cycle of planting, cutting, and harvesting, and finally transformation is carried out by hand and with the utmost dedication. The name of the group, after all, simply means Earth and Fire, the two natural elements from which these totally artisanal Mezcals come to life.

The “Mezcal Experience” aims to represent the gateway to the exotic and unknown reality of agave distillate: through this selection of 5 different labels, it is possible to embark on a journey to a land extreme and a world of traditions and surprising aromas. “Joven Wild Espadin” is refined and well-defined, the prince of typical Mezcal production, with powerful notes of smoke, hints of dehydrated papaya, orange, and pollen. “Tepeztate” comes from one of the most interesting agaves that grow in Oaxaca and takes 25 to 35 years to reach the right maturity, growing only on extremely steep slopes. “Tobala” is one of the most sought-after agaves for Mezcal production: an extremely structured and complex taste, with distinctive earthy and smoky wood tones. “Madrecuixe” comes from a wild species of agave that grows in limited quantities and produces some of the most unique distillates in the world: it expresses an uncommon minerality. “Reposado” finally tells the truest and most genuine Mexico, aging six months in American oak barrels before being bottled.

“Box Mezcal Experience” offers a glimpse into the exquisite craftsmanship of Yuu Baal. Each Mezcal represents a unique region of the central valley of Oaxaca and is an extraordinary expression of the terroir of village where it is produced.
