Cuentacuentos El Barro Agave Spirit

This bottle is labeled "destilado de agave" and is a mix of traditional mezcal and agave distillates, all produced in Oaxaca. This implies certain production characteristics regarding alcohol content, additives, or sugar sources. Tasting notes are for a specific barrel pick at Big Star's Clark St location. Aroma: Medium to light smoke, plum-like fruitiness, and a very mild cheese funk, with graininess and roast corn emerging as the fruit fades. Taste: Consistent light sweetness balances the burn throughout, allowing the aromas to come through. It resembles the sugar crust of a concha. I had more tasting notes, but the app crashed. I believe any mezcal enthusiast would enjoy this; it's smooth enough for beginners and complex enough for connoisseurs. Truly delightful, I wish I could purchase a bottle.
