The Zignum Mezcal Añejo represents a modern interpretation of traditional mezcal production from Mexico and combines artisanal origins with a deliberately elegant style. Produced by Casa Armando Guillermo Prieto in Tlacolula de Matamoros in the state of Oaxaca, this añejo mezcal is based 100% on agave espadín. In contrast to many classic mezcals, the agave hearts in Zignum Mezcal are not cooked over smoke, but gently with steam. This method preserves the natural agave structure and ensures a particularly clear, smooth flavour profile. Bottled at 40% and supplied in a gift box, this mezcal from Oaxaca is of a high quality and accessible.


After distillation, the Zignum Mezcal Añejo matures for 18 months in new French oak barrels. This maturation gives the matured mezcal depth, sweetness and a distinctive barrel structure that can be reminiscent of a Spanish-style rum. Unlike tequila, mezcal can be made from different types of agave and is traditionally strongly characterised by craftsmanship. Zignum combines this tradition with modern technology to create an agave spirit that emphasises elegance, structure and barrel ageing.
