Xila Licor de Agave: 7 Notas Spiced Mezcal Liqueur
Xila is a groundbreaking spirit that redefines the world of agave. Produced by Mexico City’s very first female-run distillery, this craft liqueur is a soulful tribute to Mexican alchemy.
The name "Xila" (pronounced shee-la) is derived from the Zapotec word for "Xalapa," but the liquid inside is a modern botanical masterpiece. Starting with a traditional Oaxacan Mezcal Espadín base, Xila is meticulously infused with seven distinct notes to create a profile that is both daring and deeply comforting.
The Power of Seven
The "7 Notas" represent a carefully curated symphony of Mexican flavors. This isn't just a sweetened spirit; it is a sophisticated infusion where each ingredient plays a vital role:
- The Foundation: Artisanal Mezcal Espadín provides a gentle, smoky backbone.
- The Heat & Spice: Ancho chili, black pepper, clove, and cinnamon offer a warming, layered complexity.
- The Floral & Fruit: Lavender and hibiscus add a fragrant, tart elegance, while caramelized pineapple provides a rich, tropical sweetness.
A Modern Approach to Mezcal
Xila stands out with its Low ABV, making it an incredibly versatile addition to any bar. Whether you are looking for a more approachable way to enjoy mezcal's smokiness or a sophisticated modifier for cocktails, Xila offers a bridge between tradition and contemporary taste. It represents the vision of women in the Mexican spirits industry, focusing on balance, fragrance, and the art of the infusion.
Tasting Notes
Xila offers a multi-sensory experience that evolves with every sip:
- Aroma: An intoxicating bouquet of dried hibiscus and lavender, followed by the cozy, earthy warmth of cinnamon and clove.
- Palate: A silky, medium-bodied texture. The initial sweetness of caramelized pineapple is quickly met by the smoky depth of Espadín mezcal. As it sits on the tongue, the subtle heat of ancho chili and the sharpness of black pepper emerge.
- Finish: Long and balanced. The floral notes of lavender linger alongside a gentle, smoky spice that invites a second taste.
Serving Suggestion
Xila is extraordinary when served neat as a digestif or slightly chilled. For a refreshing long drink, mix it with tonic water and a squeeze of lime, or use it to add a spicy, floral twist to a classic Negroni or Old Fashioned.

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.
