Mezcal from Mexico's Mestizo operation, this aged expression moves beyond the category's typical fresh, smoky character through extended barrel time. The agave spirit is distilled and then matured in oak, a practice that softens the raw intensity of mezcal while layering in wood influence and deepening its color.
Expect a more rounded, contemplative mezcal than unaged versions, with smoke still present but tempered by vanilla, caramel, and oak spice. The barrel aging creates a sipping spirit that works equally well neat or as the base of a sophisticated cocktail, offering complexity that rewards slow exploration.
