PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Cutwater Mezcal Reposado offers a compelling blend of smoky agave character and gentle wood aging—bold enough for the mezcal enthusiast, yet smooth and approachable enough for those newer to the category.
This mezcal hails from Durango, Mexico, where the agave is traditionally roasted in volcanic-rock pit ovens, then fermented in open-air vats with wild yeasts. After distillation, it’s rested in ex-whiskey barrels from Cutwater’s own stocks in San Diego, adding subtle vanilla and oak undertones without masking the agave’s essence.
It is bottled at around 45% ABV (90 proof), preserving flavor intensity while ensuring smooth access. The aging in barrels differentiates it from joven (unaged) style mezcals and delivers enhanced texture and complexity.
Nose: Roasted agave and mesquite smoke open the aroma, followed by vanilla bean, caramelized wood, and a hint of tropical fruit sweetness.
Palate: Warm and rich yet balanced. You’ll encounter the core agave flavor—earthy, mineral, herb-tinged—layered with toasted oak, light caramel, and a gentle peppery finish. The smoke remains present but integrated, not overwhelming.
Finish: Medium to long. The smoke and wood fade into lingering agave sweetness, a tease of spice (cinnamon/pepper), and a dry, slightly woody after-taste.
