Bixhidu Mezcal Ancestral Mexicano Amarillo 47.9% 750ml

Crafted from the remarkable Mexicano Amarillo agave, affectionately known as “the Mexican boxer” for its bold yet graceful character. This domesticated agave variety matures over 10-12 years, developing distinctive forest-green leaves with golden edges and reaching weights over 200 pounds.

Traditionally distilled in clay pots, this ancestral expression captures the essence of artisanal mezcal-making. The nose opens with delicate notes of sweet coconut candy, bright citrus, and rich earth. On the palate, a complex journey unfolds: sweet oils and subtle chili heat give way to the distinctive texture of green plantain, while gentle smoke weaves throughout.

An astringent interlude bridges to a finale of vanilla, caramelized sugars, and roasted seeds fresh from the comal. Each sip evokes memories of rain-slicked stone paths and forest walks, inviting contemplative appreciation. This mezcal demands and rewards patient exploration, exemplifying the profound presence for which the Mexican agave is celebrated.
