The aroma carries herbal notes, and the taste is surprisingly smooth. A pronounced initial impression of vegetation gives way to a sweet sensation in the middle of the palate. The finish is of medium length, leaving you wanting another sip. This is not a smoky mezcal and ranks among the best three in my collection.

Reviews

I get a whole lot of dark chocolate and minerality. Interesting, but not compelling enough to purchase a bottle.
Earthy and nutty. Decent. Experienced at the Tahona virtual tasting.
Really pleasant, with a vegetal character and a nice aftertaste.
