Xicaru Añejo Mezcal combines traditional Espadín production with careful oak maturation. Made in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, it preserves the relationship between roasted agave, smoke, and barrel influence.
The mezcal rests for at least twelve months in used, medium-toast American oak barrels before bottling at 43% ABV. Used oak adds depth while allowing the underlying agave character to remain present.
