Mestizo Reposado Mezcal
Mestizo Reposado Mezcal is the rested expression from Mestizo, made by Juan José Méndez-León Jiménez in Santiago Matatlán, the town in Oaxaca's central valleys that calls itself the world capital of mezcal. It comes from NOM-O02X, the second distillery ever registered for mezcal production under Mexico's certification system. The base is espadín (Agave angustifolia), the cultivated agave behind most of Oaxaca's mezcal, distilled in copper and then rested for eight months in white oak barrels before bottling at 40% ABV. Eight months is a long rest for a reposado mezcal, and it gives the spirit a sweeter, rounder entry while leaving the smoky espadín clearly in charge. The Reposado won a Gold Medal at the 13th San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2013. Mezcal Reviews found toffee and calf-skin leather on the nose with little smoke, then a palate that opens sweet with caramel before the smoky espadín character arrives with honey, a note of burnt rubber, and tobacco. It sits between Mestizo's unaged Joven and its Añejo, and it is a good bridge for anyone moving from aged tequila into mezcal. Sip it neat, or stir it into a mezcal Old Fashioned or a Oaxaca Old Fashioned.
