Señorío Joven

The bottom of the shelf, honestly

Score: 1.0/5 agaves

Señorío Joven bottle
  • Producer: Señorío Mezcal
  • Region: Tlacolula, Oaxaca
  • Agave: Espadin
  • ABV: 40%
  • Price: $48 ($)

Verdict

Señorío's joven is a category low, industrial-feeling, proof-minimum, nothing to defend. Even 400 Conejos is measurably a better bottle at comparable money. Skip outright; if you must have a sub-$20 mezcal, Del Maguey Vida is the only defensible option.

Mezcal as industrial product, stripped of every reason anyone likes mezcal

Tasting notes

Nose: Chemical smoke, sweet vanilla, little agave

Palate: 40% thin, confected sweetness, the mezcal category represented as cheaply as it can be and still be legal

Finish: Sugary, gone, short

The bottom line

Skip. Even 400 Conejos at $5 more is a better bottle
