Casa D’Aristi Xtabentun Mayan Edition Honey & Anise Liqueur
A Handcrafted Tribute to Mayan Heritage – Casa D’Aristi Xtabentún Mayan Edition Honey & Anise Liqueur
Casa D’Aristi Xtabentún Mayan Edition Honey & Anise Liqueur is a special release from Casa D’Aristi that celebrates the cultural heritage of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. This limited Mayan Edition showcases the iconic xtabentún liqueur in a handcrafted bottle created by local artisans, honoring traditional Mayan craftsmanship and symbolism. The spirit itself is produced from fermented honey derived from the native xtabentún flower and blended with aromatic green anise and rum, preserving a recipe inspired by ancient regional traditions.
Originally inspired by the sacred Mayan beverage known as balché, this honey and anise liqueur represents the fusion of indigenous ingredients and Spanish influence, resulting in a unique spirit that has been produced by Casa D’Aristi since 1935.
Tasting Experience
Appearance: Vibrant golden yellow with a light greenish hue reflecting its honey base.
Nose: Aromatic notes of green anise, Yucatecan honey, white flowers, and delicate herbal freshness.
Palate: Smooth and silky with rich honey sweetness layered with bright anise, herbal undertones, and hints of citrus marmalade.
Finish: Long and gently warming with lingering honeyed sweetness and aromatic licorice spice.
Craftsmanship
The Mayan Edition features the same traditional xtabentún recipe but is presented in a decorative bottle handcrafted by local artisans, emphasizing the deep connection between the liqueur and the culture of the Yucatán. The production uses locally sourced honey, green anise, and rum, creating a balanced liqueur that reflects the flavors of the region.
