The Creyente Joven is made with agave Espadin. It’s a blend of two different mezcals from Tlacolula and Yautepec, Oaxaca. The two mezcals are produced traditionally, but separately. Following the distillation process, the mezcals from both regions are blended together before bottling. The mezcal has a smoky aroma, with notes of lemon peel, black pepper, and ripe mango.

Mezcal Creyente was launched in the summer of 2016 by the tequila giant José Cuervo. They currently market a single blended mezcal to the international market.

Creyente means “Believer” in Spanish, as the brand was founded on the belief that anything is possible.

The aromas include sweet agave, floral notes, and a smoky aroma.

Flavors consist of smoke, agave, citrus, and fruit, with some reporting black pepper. The overall impression is mixed; it's generally considered adequate for cocktails but lacking complexity for neat sipping. Some found it simple, while others were pleasantly surprised.
