What is Xicaru Silver Mezcal?
Xicaru Silver Mezcal offers a unique taste of Oaxaca with its smoky and vegetal notes, crafted from 100% Espadin agave. Interestingly, the name "Xicaru" comes from the Zapotec language, meaning "beautiful lady," and pays homage to the producer's grandmother who first taught him the art of mezcal-making.
Why do we love Xicaru Silver Mezcal?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Xicaru Silver Mezcal for its rich, smoky flavor profile that adds depth and complexity to mixed drinks. Unlike rum, which is made from sugarcane, Xicaru Silver Mezcal is crafted from 100% Espadín agave in Oaxaca, Mexico, using traditional production methods that include roasting the agave hearts in underground pit ovens, imparting a distinctively earthy and robust character to the spirit.
How do you drink Xicaru Silver Mezcal?
Xicaru Silver Mezcal shines when sipped neat or with a single large ice cube, allowing its complex smoky and herbal notes to unfold on the palate. This versatile spirit also excels in agave-based cocktails, particularly those with citrus elements, and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats or spicy Mexican cuisine, making it a perfect choice for outdoor summer gatherings or cozy winter evenings by the fire.

Nose: Smoke and earth dominate, with hints of green vegetables like bell pepper. Subtle citrus and herbal notes emerge, reminiscent of lemon zest and sage. A whisper of vanilla adds complexity.
Palate: Smooth and oily texture. The smoke intensifies, bringing charred wood and roasted agave flavors. Peppery spice builds, balanced by sweet fruit notes of pear and green apple. Mineral undertones evoke wet stone.
Finish: Long and warming. The smoke lingers, accompanied by black pepper and a slight medicinal quality. A touch of salt appears, along with fading notes of citrus peel and herbs. The overall impression is clean and crisp.
Xicaru Silver Mezcal is crafted using traditional methods in Oaxaca, Mexico, where ripe espadin agave hearts are roasted in underground pit ovens for several days before being crushed, fermented, and double-distilled in copper stills. What's fascinating about Xicaru's production is their commitment to sustainability – they replant three agave plants for every one harvested, ensuring the longevity of both the species and the mezcal-making tradition.
