Mestizo Mezcal Espadin Anejo
Mestizo Mezcal Espadin Anejo is a 40.5% ABV (81 proof) oak-aged mezcal made from 100% Agave Espadín — the aged expression of the Mestizo line, rested in American oak after double distillation in copper pot stills in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, Mexico. Oak rounds the edges of the joven's smoke into caramel, vanilla, and warm spice over roasted agave. It comes in a 750mL bottle. Order aged mezcal online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Espadín, Given Time in Oak
The joven shows you the agave; the añejo shows you what time in wood adds to it. Mestizo's aged Espadín takes the same double-distilled spirit and rests it in American oak, layering the smoke with caramel and vanilla, warm spice, and a light spicy sweetness — a richer, rounder pour that still keeps its roasted-agave spine.

Tasting Notes
Distinctive and layered: caramel and vanilla from the oak over roasted agave and mesquite smoke, with warm spice and a light spicy-caramel sweetness through the finish. Softer than the joven, deeper than the reposado.
How to Enjoy
Sip neat to let the oak and agave work show — this is a slow-pour mezcal. It also elevates an aged-agave Old Fashioned, where the caramel and smoke notes carry the cocktail.
