Description

Xicaru, the Zapotec word for beautiful, reflects Fernando Santibañez’s desire to share a traditionally produced mezcal that is approachable and distinct.  Using his grandmother’s recipe, we make small batches of Xicaru Mezcal with time-honored methods at a palenque in Matatlán, Oaxaca. 
Xicaru Silver showcases the 100% Maguey espadin from which it’s made.  Its natural smoky flavor is derived by cooking the maguey in a conical stone oven on mesquite and ocote, woods native to Oaxaca.  The cooked maguey is then tahona-mashed, fermented naturally in open-air pine vats, and double-distilled over a wood fire.
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.
