Product Description
Santo Gusano Reposado Mezcal 750ml is a smooth, oak-rested mezcal curated by blackbook for drinkers who want traditional agave character softened by time in barrel. Crafted using artisanal mezcal methods, this reposado balances gentle smokiness with warm wood influence—creating a mezcal that’s expressive yet approachable.
Rested in oak barrels after distillation, Santo Gusano Reposado develops layers of vanilla, caramel, and subtle spice while preserving the roasted agave core that defines quality mezcal. The result is a rounded, sipping-friendly profile that appeals to both mezcal enthusiasts and tequila drinkers looking to explore barrel-aged agave spirits.
At blackbook, we prioritize mezcals that showcase restraint and balance. Santo Gusano Reposado delivers complexity without aggression, making it an easy recommendation for slow pours or refined cocktails.
