Montagave Joven Tequila De Agave

Montagave Joven Tequila De Agave (750mL) is a small-batch joven that treats tequila like fine wine, finishing 100% Blue Weber agave spirit in French oak wine casks. It is built for the agave drinker chasing additive-free, terroir-driven bottles rather than a mixing workhorse.

Process & Profile

The agave is grown in the Lowlands of Jalisco and distilled in partnership with the Rosales family at their Cascahuín distillery in El Arenal, a house known for traditional, additive-free production. Released in numbered batches at 45.5% ABV (91 proof), the joven skips heavy barrel aging in favor of a French oak wine-cask finish that drapes soft fruit over bright agave.

On the nose, fresh cooked agave leads, with citrus zest, honey, and a stony minerality sitting behind it.

On the palate, agave sweetness meets vanilla, cracked pepper, and a wine-cask note of red fruit, with fresh herbs and a cool mint lift.

The finish is medium and clean, closing on pepper-dusted agave and a trace of oak.

What makes it distinctive is the wine-cask finish paired with a higher-than-standard 91-proof bottling: most jovens chase easy, unaged brightness, while this one adds fruit-driven depth and concentration without tipping into the caramel weight of a reposado or añejo.

Serve neat in a copita or Glencairn, or over one large cube, alongside a citrus-marinated ceviche.
