El Tinieblo Joven is produced using traditional methods by mezcalero Don Baltazar Cruz in the state of Tamaulipas. The agaves are cooked in an earthen pit, crushed with a tahona, and the fermented in open air wooden vats. Next, the spirit is doubled-distilled in copper stills and adjusted to a final ABV of 40%. El Tinieblo Mezcal Joven is twice-distilled from a blend of salmiana, americana (maguey), and espadin agaves. This silver mezcal is produced in Jiménez by Mezcales de Tamaulipas S de RLMI (NOM T40M).
