Casa Satryna Mezcal Mexicano 10 year 750 ML

Casa Satryna Mezcal Mexicano is labeled as a 10-year-aged mezcal, a considerably longer maturation than most mezcals see, since the category is traditionally dominated by unaged joven expressions with reposado and anejo bottlings usually topping out well under five years. Produced in Mexico using artisanal methods, aging that extended typically comes from small-batch, boutique operations experimenting outside the norm rather than mainstream production. Expect a spirit shaped as much by long oak contact as by the underlying agave, with smoke and earthiness from the traditional roasting process running underneath deeper caramel and dried-fruit notes built up over the decade in barrel.

How to drink Casa Satryna 10 Year Mezcal

Sip it neat in a small copita, the way any well-aged agave spirit deserves, rather than as a shot. Given how unusual a 10-year mezcal is, it's worth tasting slowly before deciding whether to mix it into anything at all.
