Casa Xamu celebrates a new recognition for Oaxacan artisanal mezcal: our Casa Xamu Espadín was included in Revista CAVA's TOP 99 Mezcales 2026, earning 89 points and a silver medal in one of the reference guides for mezcal consumers, enthusiasts, and connoisseurs in Mexico.
This result represents an important moment for our mezcal house, because it not only recognizes a label; it recognizes the work, patience, and heritage behind each bottle.
Casa Xamu was born in Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, a land deeply connected to the mezcal tradition, where agave, fire, fermentation, and distillation are part of a living culture.
Recognition for artisanal mezcal from Santiago Matatlán
Mezcal is not understood only from the bottle. It is understood from its origin, from the land where the agave grows, and from the hands that respect each stage of the process.
Therefore, appearing in the TOP 99 Mezcales 2026 is a recognition that connects directly with what Casa Xamu represents: artisanal mezcal with roots, made with respect for tradition and with a deeply Oaxacan identity.
Our Espadín is a pleasant, balanced, and aromatic expression, with fruity, spicy notes and a mineral aftertaste that reflects the character of the Oaxaca Valley. It is a mezcal designed for those seeking an authentic, clear, and honest experience in every sip.
Why is Revista CAVA's TOP 99 Mezcales important?
The TOP 99 Mezcales 2026 guide, published by Revista CAVA, brings together selected labels through a blind tasting conducted by a panel of expert judges.
According to the information published by the magazine, this edition included more than 500 mezcals from the 11 Denominations of Origin. For evaluation, the bottles were covered so that the judges did not know the identity of each mezcal, allowing the scoring to focus on its sensory qualities.
The evaluation considered aspects such as sight, smell, taste, and overall appreciation. Within this process, Casa Xamu Espadín obtained 89 points, a result that earned it a silver medal and a place in the selection of the 99 outstanding mezcals of the 2026 edition.
Casa Xamu Espadín: 89 points and a silver medal
The recognition of Casa Xamu Espadín confirms the value of a label that expresses balance, origin, and artisanal character.
Espadín is one of the most representative varieties of Oaxacan mezcal, but each mezcal house imprints a distinct identity through the territory, production method, and the master mezcal maker's vision. In Casa Xamu, this expression retains a clean, fruity, spicy, and mineral personality.
Obtaining 89 points in a blind tasting has special value because it eliminates the weight of the brand during the evaluation. What speaks is the mezcal: its aroma, its structure, its persistence, and its balance.
An achievement that honors roots, territory, and artisanal work
For Casa Xamu, this recognition is not an endpoint. It is a sign that artisanal work, when done with respect and patience, can occupy relevant spaces within the national conversation about mezcal.
Behind every bottle there is land, time, and hands that understand that mezcal cannot be rushed. There is a story that comes from generations and a responsibility to those who seek more than just a drink: an experience with origin.
This recognition also reminds us that Mexican mezcal is experiencing a key moment. The category is growing, reaching new tables, and generating interest both within and outside the country. In this context, being part of a guide like the TOP 99 Mezcales 2026 helps to highlight the work of producers who continue to defend the authenticity, tradition, and complexity of this emblematic beverage.
