Yuu Baal Anejo Espadin Mezcal

Yuu Baal Añejo is the brand's longest-aged bottle — twelve months in American white oak on Oaxacan espadín, from the social enterprise that makes mezcal affordable. Yuu Baal is a group of producers in San Juan del Río, San Luis del Río, Tlacolula, and Miahuatlán, Oaxaca, whose mission is to highlight native Oaxacan mezcal traditions with every step — planting, cutting, distilling — done by hand. Añejo starts with the house espadín — farm-grown agave roasted in a conical stone-lined pit, crushed by tahona, fermented with wild yeast in pine vats, and double-distilled in copper — then ages twelve months in American white oak, bottled at 48% ABV; Malt Review confirms the twelve-month spec, and every bottle is numbered by lot. A year in oak takes espadín deep into whiskey territory: expect a nose of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and dried fruit with the agave's smoke and citrus underneath, opening into a rounded, sweet-savory palate of toffee, baking spice, and cooked agave with more wood than the Reposado, finishing long and warm. Honest note: aged mezcal divides purists, and Mezcal Reviews' tasters preferred the lighter Reposado's candy-and-peppermint brightness to the Añejo's oak — this is the bottle for the bourbon drinker curious about agave, at a price that makes the experiment easy. For a mezcal Old Fashioned, a smoky Manhattan, or neat. The value añejo.
