This expression is made in Matalán in the state of Oaxaca from 100% Espadín. It is cooked in a conical stone oven with mezquite and ocote, then fermented in a pine vat, twice distilled in a copper alembic still, and rested for 2 to 4 months in American oak with a medium toast.

Xicaru Mezcal Reposado has a slightly yellowish, clear appearance, with extremely tiny sediment specks. The aroma is of peppery spice and agave juice. The flavor is similar, with sweetness and virtually no smoke. Xicaru Mezcal Reposado has a light body and a mostly-dry finish. RJT
Sweet banana and smoky on the nose. On the palate smoke, vanilla, and caramel. Finish is not overly hot, creamy butterscotch coats your mouth. It almost finishes buttery.
My favorite mezcal I've had to this point. Very smokey but smoothe
Meh. Not enough smoke. Slightly sweet.
The aging gave it a softer edge.
Smokey af
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
