About This Spirit
Zignum Mezcal Añejo represents the pinnacle of the distillery’s core range, delivering a sophisticated balance of smoky agave and oak-aged refinement. Produced in Oaxaca, the spiritual home of mezcal, it is crafted entirely from Espadín agave and aged for more than 12 months in oak casks. For Irish drinkers seeking mezcal Ireland with authenticity and quality, or whiskey Dublin enthusiasts wanting to buy whiskey online while expanding into agave spirits, Zignum Añejo is an essential choice. With whiskey delivery available across the country, this bottle brings the warmth of Mexico straight to your glass.
The ageing process sets this Añejo apart. Time in oak adds richness and smoothness, enhancing the natural smoke of the agave with notes of vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and spice. At 38% ABV, it is approachable yet layered, making it equally enjoyable for sipping neat or using in sophisticated mezcal cocktails.

Distillery Overview
Zignum is known as a modern spearhead in the mezcal industry, pioneering sustainable practices while celebrating Oaxaca’s mezcal traditions. The distillery combines artisanal methods such as agave roasting and copper still distillation with environmentally conscious initiatives like water treatment and replanting programmes. This approach has positioned Zignum as a gateway mezcal brand that introduces new drinkers to the category while satisfying connoisseurs with higher-aged expressions like the Añejo.
The longer maturation in oak barrels allows the Añejo to showcase how mezcal evolves over time, smoothing out its smoky edges while adding layers of complexity. Zignum’s Añejo is proof that mezcal can be as refined and contemplative as whiskey, brandy, or cognac.
