El Tinieblo Anejo Mezcal 750 ml

El Tinieblo Añejo Mezcal is made in Oaxaca from cooked, roasted agave in the traditional mezcal process, then aged in oak barrels to earn the añejo designation. The roasting in earthen pits, typical of traditional mezcal production, gives it a smokier base than tequila before the barrel adds oak sweetness. Expect roasted agave and smoke on the nose, a smooth palate with vanilla and light spice layered over the mezcal's earthy base, and a warm, smoky-sweet finish. It's an aged mezcal aimed at sipping rather than mixing, for drinkers who want smoke softened by wood time.

How to drink El Tinieblo Añejo

Sip it neat in a small glass; the barrel aging already does the work an Old Fashioned would add, so it doesn't need much dressing up.
