Bixhid Ancestral Mezcal Mexicano Amarillo

47.9% ABV

Crafted from the remarkable Mexicano Amarillo agave, affectionately known as “the Mexican boxer” for its bold yet graceful character. This domesticated agave variety matures over 10-12 years, developing distinctive forest-green leaves with golden edges and reaching weights over 200 pounds.

Tasting Notes

Traditionally distilled in clay pots, this ancestral expression captures the essence of artisanal mezcal-making.

• The nose opens with delicate notes of sweet coconut candy, bright citrus, and rich earth.
• On the palate, a complex journey unfolds: sweet oils and subtle chili heat give way to the distinctive texture of green plantain, while gentle smoke weaves throughout.
• An astringent interlude bridges to a finale of vanilla, caramelized sugars, and roasted seeds fresh from the comal.

Each sip evokes memories of rain-slicked stone paths and forest walks, inviting contemplative appreciation.

This mezcal demands and rewards patient exploration, exemplifying the profound presence for which the Mexican agave is celebrated.
