Yuu Baal Reposado Espadín is an artisanal mezcal made by mezcalero Isaías Martínez Juan in San Juan del Río, Oaxaca, from 100% Espadín and aged six months in American white oak, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV).
Made from farm-grown Agave Espadín, Yuu Baal's reposado rests six months in American white oak barrels, striking a balance between agave character and delicate oak influence. Pale golden yellow and full bodied, it is a natural choice for people who know tequila and are new to mezcal, and an approachable entry point to the category.
Smooth and suave with a hint of caramel, it offers slight banana and bubble gum aromas with a hint of smoke and a delightful aroma from its time in oak.
The golden reposado label makes it an elegant gift.
Mezcal is made by roasting agave hearts, traditionally in earthen pits, then crushing, fermenting and distilling them, a process that gives the spirit its characteristic smoky depth. Each agave variety and each village brings its own character, which is why enthusiasts love exploring small-batch bottlings.
Mezcal and other agave spirits are traditionally sipped from a copita or a small clay cup, in small sips, often alongside orange slices dusted with sal de gusano. Many are made in tiny batches by individual families, so each bottle is a snapshot of a particular place, agave and season.
