Señorío Joven
The bottom of the shelf, honestly
Score: 1.0/5 agaves
- Producer: Señorío Mezcal
- Region: Tlacolula, Oaxaca
- Agave: Espadin
- ABV: 40%
- Price: $40 ($$)
Verdict
Señorío's joven is a category low, industrial-feeling, proof-minimum, nothing to defend. Even 400 Conejos is measurably a better bottle at a comparable price. Skip outright; if you must go under $20, Mestiza Negra at Trader Joe's 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
A 1.0 with nothing to defend. Even 400 Conejos at $5 more is a better bottle
