Production Notes
Xicaru Mezcal Reposado is made using traditional methods that have been passed down through generations of mezcaleros. The agave plants are harvested by hand and slow-roasted over an open fire in a pit oven. The roasted agave is then crushed by a tahona, a large stone wheel, to extract the juice. The juice is fermented and then distilled twice in copper pot stills before being aged in oak barrels for six months.
