Wahaka Mezcal Reposado con Gusano 750mL

Wahaka Mezcal Reposado con Gusano is a traditional, small-batch mezcal that pays homage to centuries-old Oaxacan craftsmanship. Made from 100% organic Espadín agave grown in the sun-drenched valleys of San Dionisio Ocotepec, this expression is double-distilled in copper alembic stills, then rested for up to six months in re-charred American oak barrels to develop a deeper, rounded flavor profile. What sets this mezcal apart is the inclusion of the gusano—the agave worm—added to each bottle as a nod to ancestral tradition and to impart a subtle earthy complexity.On the nose, it offers a rich bouquet of roasted agave, toasted oak, vanilla, and dried fruit, underscored by vegetal smoke and a touch of spice. The palate is equally nuanced, with warm notes of caramelized agave, light pepper, clove, red apple, and cacao, finishing with a soft, smoky warmth and the signature savory depth of the gusano. Silky and medium-bodied, this mezcal delivers a layered, expressive sipping experience that bridges rustic authenticity with aged refinement.
