Description

The pure appearance and substantial body result from age old methods used in the production process. The finished aroma is natural and robust; a combination of maguey, mesquite and ocote. Earthy characteristics on the front palate give way to citrus and rich vegetal maguey notes that finish distinctively clean. A tinge of smoke complements these qualities without overwhelming the delicate balance found in Xicaru.

Producer Description

Xicaru, the Zapotec word for beautiful, reflects Fernando Santibaf1ez's desire to share a traditionally produced mezcal that is approachable and distinct. Using his grandmother's recipe, Fernando makes small batches of Xicaru Mezcal with time-honored methods at a palenque in Matatle1n, Oaxaca.
