About this mezcal

Nucano Anejo is a grand reserve mezcal that is aged from 3 to 5 years in white oak barrels. This long time in the barrel allows for the mezcal to become exceptionally smooth and sweet, bringing out many of the notes from the wood. Most anejo mezcal is only aged in wood barrels for 12-14 months, so this is a completely unique mezcal on the market. Its rich, dark color shows off its vibrant notes of cherry, vanilla, cranberry, coffee, and dark chocolate. It is full-bodied and velvety in the mouth.

Nucano Mezcal

Mezcal Nucano is an artisanal mezcal produced in the region of San Dionisio Ocotepec, Oaxaca. Their batches are always limited to ensure artisanal production, and they are made by a 5th generation mezcalero who helps to bring old-world mezcal production into modern times. They make an Anejo, Reposado, and several Joven mezcals that feature different silvestre agave. They are entirely Oaxacan owned and operated.

Batch NAE05-21, 40%, Bottle 582/720

Nose – Woody and sweet; caramel, butterscotch, pine, and maple syrup.

Palate – Very mellow with subtle sweetness and hints of wood; banana bread, brown sugar, and some earthy baked sweetness, like brown bread and oatmeal.

Finish – Subtle earthy bittersweetness; raw honey, fruit pith, maraschino cherries, and granola.

Alright overall, mid-level flavor, got some legs. I can dig it. Decent daily sipper, probably stellar in a Oaxacan Old Fashioned and other cocktails.
