Tasting Notes
Barrel aging naturally imparts both the straw color and subtle sweet notes that complement the unique characteristics of a traditional mezcal. The herbal, smoky taste of the cooked agave is softened on the palate by the delicate tinge of vanilla and caramel. This beautifully rounded flavor finishes smoothly and cleanly.
Jaguar At Rest
We have chosen the jaguar to represent and pay respect to the history and tradition found in both Xicaru Silver – where the jaguar is alert and active, and in Xicaru Reposado – where he is resting. Even at rest this mythical creature represents a grace and power to be revered.
