Key characteristics
About this mezcal
La Escondida Reposado is a mezcal from Mexico, rested to develop colour and roundness beyond the sharper edges of a blanco. Made in the reposado style, it carries the smoky, agave-forward character that defines the category.
Expect smoke, roasted agave and a touch of oak-derived vanilla and spice from its time in barrel, with a warm, rounded finish. Serve at 18-22°C, neat or in a mezcal-based cocktail, as an aperitif or a contemplative after-dinner pour on deck.
