Xicaru Mezcal Anejo - Aged to Perfection, a Symphony of Smoke and Oak
This exceptional 750ml, 43% ABV (86 proof) mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, is a masterful blend of tradition and patience. Crafted from 100% agave espadin, the piñas are slowly cooked in a traditional conical stone oven, using mesquite and ocote woods to impart a rich, distinctive smokiness.
After careful distillation, Xicaru Mezcal Anejo is aged for a minimum of one year in medium-toasted, used American oak barrels. This extended aging process allows the mezcal to develop a fuller, more complex flavor profile, where the robust agave character harmoniously intertwines with notes of vanilla and oak.
On the palate, the initial smoke and maguey flavors are beautifully balanced by the oak's influence, creating a seamless symphony of flavors that linger delightfully. The finish is sweet and smoky, a delightful culmination of the mezcal's journey from agave field to barrel.
Xicaru Mezcal Anejo is a true testament to the art of patience and the mastery of mezcal-making. Each sip unveils the depths of Oaxacan tradition, where time-honored techniques converge with the finest agave to create a truly exceptional spirit that will captivate even the most discerning of palates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is all your inventory online?
We try to keep the store as updated as possible, but we always get new shipments. So if you don't see what you are looking for, send an email, and we'll check to see what Moose is hiding in the back room.
Why is beer available as in-store pick-up only?
Our temperature-controlled storage systems preserve beer's quality and flavor until pickup. By maintaining precise refrigeration, we protect each batch's unique characteristics and ensure customers receive the freshest possible product.
However, due to the challenges of maintaining consistent temperature during shipping, we exclusively offer in-store pickup for our craft beers.
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.
