Xicaru Mezcal Añejo
Aged to Perfection, a Symphony of Smoke and Oak
Experience the exquisite depth and nuanced complexity of Xicaru Mezcal Añejo, a testament to time-honored Oaxacan tradition. This exceptional 750ml mezcal, bottled at a robust 43% ABV (86 proof), begins its journey with 100% Espadín agave, its heart slowly roasted in a traditional conical stone oven using fragrant mesquite and ocote woods. This ancient method imbues the spirit with a signature smoky character that forms the soul of Xicaru.
Following meticulous distillation, this Añejo patiently rests for a minimum of one year in medium-toasted, used American oak barrels. This extended maturation period allows the mezcal to evolve, developing a richer, more intricate flavor profile where the inherent strength of the agave gracefully melds with the sweet embrace of vanilla and the subtle spice of oak.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: An inviting aroma of gentle smoke and cooked agave rises from the glass, interwoven with warm notes of vanilla and a hint of toasted oak.
- Palate: Upon the first sip, a captivating harmony unfolds. The initial smoky and earthy maguey notes are beautifully balanced by the oak's influence, imparting layers of smooth vanilla and a subtle, pleasing spice. The texture is velvety and refined. Finish: The journey culminates in a long, satisfying finish that is both sweet and smoky, leaving a delightful warmth and a lingering echo of the agave's journey from field to barrel.
Xicaru Mezcal Añejo is more than just a spirit; it's an experience. Each sip reveals the dedication and artistry of Oaxacan mezcaleros, where patience and tradition converge to create an exceptionally smooth and complex spirit that will captivate and reward even the most discerning palates.
Savor it slowly and discover the symphony of smoke and oak within.

What is the difference between Tequila & Mezcal?
Tequila is a type of mezcal, much like how scotch and bourbon are types of whiskey.
Tequila and mezcal are both types of agave-based spirits that are popular in Mexico, but there are some key differences between the two. Tequila is made exclusively from the blue agave plant, which is primarily grown in the area surrounding the city of Tequila, about 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara. Mezcal, on the other hand, can be made from any type of agave plant, and is often made using traditional, labor-intensive methods.
One of the most noticeable differences between tequila and mezcal is their flavor. Tequila is typically smooth and subtle, with hints of fruit and spices, while mezcal has a more complex, smoky flavor that comes from the roasting of the agave hearts before they are fermented and distilled.
Another difference between the two spirits is their production process. Tequila is typically made using modern industrial methods, while mezcal is often produced using traditional techniques that have been passed down for generations. This can give mezcal a more authentic, artisanal character.
In general, tequila is considered to be a more refined and sophisticated spirit, while mezcal is often viewed as a more rustic and traditional drink. Both are popular in Mexico and are enjoyed around the world, so the best way to decide which one you like is to try them both and see which one suits your tastes.
