Mezcal Artesanal Xicaru Sliver 102° (750ml) Vodka Spirits This bourbon uses a higherXicaru is the Zapotec word for beautiful. This name reflects mezcalero Fernando Santibaezs desire to share his artistic creations. Using his grandmothers recipe, Fernando makes small batches of Xicaru Mezcal at his palenque in Matatln, Oaxaca. Its natural smoky flavor is derived by cooking the agave in a conical stone oven on mesquite and ocote, woods native to Oaxaca. The cooked agave is tahona mashed and naturally fermented in an open pine vat.
