Xicaru Silver 102° - A Bold and Unapologetic Celebration of Mezcal Tradition
This 102 proof (51% ABV) mezcal from Oaxaca, Mexico, is a testament to the time-honored artisanal methods that have been passed down through generations. Crafted by master mezcalero Fernando Santibanez in Santiago Matatlan, Xicaru Silver 102° is a bold and robust expression of agave Espadin.
Distilled using a smaller cut from the heart of the distillate, this mezcal packs an assertive punch that tantalizes the senses from the very first whiff. On the nose, it unveils a crisp, high-proof intensity that seamlessly transitions into a rich, smoky, and vegetal palate experience.
Xicaru Silver 102° is a harmonious blend of two revered traditions: pechuga, a ceremonial mezcal reserved for special occasions, and mole negro, the iconic Oaxacan sauce. Double distilled in small batches, each sip is a journey through the depths of agave flavor, gradually softening to reveal layers of smoky, vegetal complexity.
The finish is warm and lingering, a testament to the mezcal's uncompromising character and the unwavering commitment to preserving the authentic essence of Oaxacan mezcal-making heritage.
Embrace the unapologetic boldness of Xicaru Silver 102° and immerse yourself in a true celebration of agave spirit, where tradition and flavor converge in perfect harmony.

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.
