This is a mezcal with zero smoke. The mezcaleros at Zignum steam their agave pinas vs. smoking them. This allows the true essence of the Espadín to shine.
Made from 100% Espadín agave Zignum Reposado is aged for at least 8 months in new American white oak barrels. Golden color with elegant brown hues. Delicate flavors of vanilla, caramel, honey, and bright hints of orange.
Reposado translates literally to ‘rested’ and refers to a Mezcal that has aged in oak barrels between sixty days to one year. This resting time allows the smoky, vegetal flavors and aromas of the young new-make spirit to soften and mellow, letting the complex qualities of the agave and barrel emerge. Depending on the type of barrel used, the wood will impart both color and flavor components of its own, such as molasses, toffee and vanilla.
