Xicaru Mezcal Aejo

Aged to Perfection, a Symphony of Smoke and Oak

Experience the exquisite depth and nuanced complexity of Xicaru Mezcal Aejo, a testament to time-honored Oaxacan tradition. This exceptional 750ml mezcal, bottled at a robust 43% ABV (86 proof), begins its journey with 100% Espadn agave, its heart slowly roasted in a traditional conical stone oven using fragrant mesquite and ocote woods. This ancient method imbues the spirit with a signature smoky character that forms the soul of Xicaru.

Following meticulous distillation, this Aejo patiently rests for a minimum of one year in medium-toasted, used American oak barrels. This extended maturation period allows the mezcal to evolve, developing a richer, more intricate flavor profile where the inherent strength of the agave gracefully melds with the sweet embrace of vanilla and the subtle spice of oak.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: An inviting aroma of gentle smoke and cooked agave rises from the glass, interwoven with warm notes of vanilla and a hint of toasted oak.
• Palate: Upon the first sip, a captivating harmony unfolds. The initial smoky and earthy maguey notes are beautifully balanced by the oak’s influence, imparting layers of smooth vanilla and a subtle, pleasing spice. The texture is velvety and refined. Finish: The journey culminates in a long, satisfying finish that is both sweet and smoky, leaving a delightful warmth and a lingering echo of the agave’s journey from field to barrel.

Xicaru Mezcal Aejo is more than just a spirit; it’s an experience. Each sip reveals the dedication and artistry of Oaxacan mezcaleros, where patience and tradition converge to create an exceptionally smooth and complex spirit that will captivate and reward even the most discerning palates.

Savor it slowly and discover the symphony of smoke and oak within.
