Bixhid Mezcal Barril

Bixhid Artisanal Mezcal Barril (46.5% ABV) showcases the distinguished Agave Barril, known affectionately as “El Caballero.” This unique agave matures over 10-15 years, endemic to Oaxaca, developing an unmistakable formbarrel-shaped and stout or long and broadunlike its round cousins. Its deep green leaves terminate in formidable thorns so sharp that, for generations, farmers valued it more as natural fencing than a spirit source.

Though once overlooked by mezcal producers for its dense, fibrous heart, Barril has emerged from obscurity to become one of the most sought-after agaves, prized for its profound earthiness and rich mineral character.

Tasting Notes

• The palate unfolds in layers: bright citrus mingles with ripe pineapple and crisp cucumber peel, while the distinctive tartness and buttery notes of nance fruit dance with black pepper and fresh mint.

Each sip of this remarkable mezcal is an expedition into untamed terrain, capturing the soul of Oaxaca’s wilderness in liquid form.
