Lajita Mezcal Reposado with Agave Worm 40% vol. 0.7 l – an artisanally produced mezcal that delights with its gentle ageing and authentic aroma. Produced from 100% Agave Espadín, this mezcal embodies the deep-rooted tradition of Mexican distilling. A distinctive feature is the agave worm (gusano) in the bottle, which is prized as a symbol of quality and adds an extra dimension of flavour.

After distillation, Lajita Mezcal Reposado is aged for several months in American oak casks, which gives it a mild, well-rounded character. The slow roasting of the agave hearts in earthen pits creates a subtle smokiness that blends perfectly with the sweet and woody notes from the barrel ageing.

Tasting Note

Colour: Pale gold with amber highlights.

Nose: Subtle smokiness, sweet agave notes, delicate vanilla, caramel and light hints of spice.

Palate: Smooth and harmonious, with a balance of smoked agave, honey, vanilla, spices and subtle herbal notes.

Finish: Long-lasting, gently smoky, with a pleasant oak note and delicate spiciness.

Lajita Mezcal Reposado is traditionally enjoyed neat, served slightly chilled or at room temperature to allow its complexity to unfold. For a classic mezcal experience, it can be served with orange slices and sal de gusano (worm salt).

It also lends drinks a fascinating depth in cocktails – whether in a Smoky Margarita, a Mezcal Negroni or an Oaxacan Old Fashioned. Culinary pairings include grilled meat, spicy tacos, dark chocolate or matured cheese, which perfectly complement its sweet, smoky flavours.
