Xicaru Silver Mezcal

Xicaru the Zapotec word for beautiful reflects Fernando Santibaez’s desire to share a traditionally produced mezcal that is approachable and distinct. The Santibaez family makes small batches of Xicaru Silver mezcal with time-honored methods at palenques in Matatln Oaxaca. This artisanal mezcal showcases the 100% Maguey espadin from which it’s made. It’s natural smoky flavor is derived by cooking the maguey in a conical stone oven on mesquite and ocote woods native to Oaxaca Mexico. 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 Silver.
