La Reliquia Reposado is an artisanal mezcal made from 100% maguey espadín (Agave angustifolia) in Oaxaca, rested in oak and bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof).
Resting in barrels softens the espadín's smoke and adds vanilla and caramel.
La Reliquia presents its mezcals in a distinctive rounded, triangular bottle with a copper-coloured stopper and barrels printed on the label.
Espadín is the most widely used agave for mezcal, prized for its balance of sweetness, fruit and smoke.
The reposado is a gentle introduction to mezcal for tequila drinkers and a smooth sipper for mezcal fans. It sits alongside La Reliquia's Tobalá and Madrecuishe joven mezcals.
