About this bottle
Bruxo began in 2010 as a project by friends passionate about agave spirits and committed to traditional mezcal production. Each expression is created by a different maestro mezcalero; this particular one is crafted by Lucio Morales Lopez using espadín agave harvested between 7 and 8 years old. It undergoes double distillation in copper pot stills.

This is about as straightforward as they come. The nose reminds me of an old closet, and the taste is extremely balanced. It coats the palate with light smoke and a distinguished character.
Sampled neat by the pool with a friend The nose is very herbaceous, earthy, and rich. It evokes sunflowers in mid-summer. On the palate, it's smooth, earthy, and smoky.
Drank on Father's Day 2020 at the Perrelli House in Smithtown. Enjoyed in a mixed drink with muddled lime and sea salt, topped with club soda.
Aroma: Evokes the scent of an old closet. Like an aged rug. Palate: Mineral, smooth with a light finish. Smoke: Mild to moderate.
It's a typically strong mezcal, possessing the characteristic notes expected from the spirit. It's quite sweet and well-rounded.
