Cruz de Fuego mezcal

An assertive Espadin mezcal from NOM-020X in Matatlan, Mexico, recognized as the "World Capital of Mezcal." It is double distilled and offers an aromatic introduction of agave, herbs, and spices. The palate develops notes of candied agave, leading to a well-rounded, medium-length finish with hints of earth, pepper, and a touch of smoke. Sampled in April 2017.

- Sharp - Sharp with a little spice - The finish is short, but the taste is good, like I had a joint. - Intriguing; I'd try it again but I'm not sure I'd want a lot.

From the advent calendar, day 14. Sampled neat. It has a spicy and smoky taste on the palate.
