Del Maguey Wild Jabali

A very interesting contrast between the aroma (relatively dark and savory-sweet-smoky) and the taste, which is comparatively bright and herbal-spicy. The mild heat gives way to a zesty finish with savory green herbs (like basil or tarragon) and black pepper spice. If you appreciate the approach to mezcal from that producer, and the descriptions sound appealing, it's worth purchasing without tasting.

Vanilla and tobacco aromas. The initial taste is quick but settles into earthy, smoky, and barrel-aged vanilla notes.

Fantastic! Great smoky yet refreshing character.
