BARRICA DE FUEGO WINE & MEZCAL DELIRIO REPOSADO
GUANAJUATO & OAXACA • MEXICAN BLEND OF FIRE AND WOOD
"A masterful encounter between two great artisanal expressions of Mexico: the vibrant and fruity freshness of a young red wine from the Bajío alongside the smoky robustness and elegant oak aging of Oaxacan mezcal."

The Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Reposado 40° (750ml) delivers the earthy depth of Espadín Agave from Santiago Matatlán, with 3 to 4 months in white oak. Both have a dry profile.
