Mezcal Olvido Divino 1984 Añejo

Mezcal Olvido Divino 1984 Añejo 42 percent ABV is a remarkable testament to patience, tradition and Mexican craftsmanship from Licores Veracruz, a family-run producer with decades of experience in fine spirits. What began in 1984 as a distinctive Espadín mezcal was placed into European oak barrels under the guidance of José Villanueva Barragán and forgotten in the aging cellar for 30 years. When rediscovered three decades later only a handful of barrels remained suitable, yielding a tiny number of bottles now prized by collectors around the world.

This expression stands out not just for its age but for the story behind it. Licores Veracruz allowed the spirit to mature quietly and naturally, creating a profile that is unique among agave distillates. The extended time in oak has given the mezcal a deep copper colour with golden highlights, a testament to the long interaction between spirit and wood. The nose is layered and intricate with enveloping smoky agave character balanced by herbal, nutty and subtle sweet notes that reflect the influence of old oak.

On the palate the experience is rich and nuanced with a smooth texture, integrated acidity and a harmony of earthy, smoky and mature oak flavours that evolve with each sip. The finish lingers, revealing more depth and complexity. Each bottle is hand numbered, signed and presented with a certificate of authenticity in a handcrafted case.

Mezcal Olvido Divino 1984 is certified by the Mezcal Regulatory Council and represents one of the most extraordinary aged mezcals ever released. It is designed for the serious collector or enthusiast who appreciates history, rarity and the full expression of long-term maturation in agave spirits.
