Cutwater Mezcal Joven is produced in Durango, Mexico, using wild Maguey Cenizo (Agave durangensis). The agave is roasted in traditional volcanic rock pit ovens, imparting a smoky flavor that complements the deep, earthy agave notes. This mezcal is fermented naturally using wild yeasts from the surrounding area, creating a balanced spirit with a smooth, rich profile.
Cutwater Spirits is a renowned San Diego-based distillery that began as a passion project by Yuseff Cherney. Initially focused on craft brewing, the brand expanded into the spirits world, creating a diverse portfolio that includes whiskey, rum, vodka, gin, and tequila.
