The aroma presents notes of green peppers, earth, grass, a hint of smoke, and agave. On the palate, the smoke is subtle, accompanied by black pepper, green pepper, earth, and savory roasted agave. A lingering peppery finish. It's relatively mild but quite tasty.

A top-tier mezcal for me. Exceptionally refined, possessing a distinguished and distinct character. I have a fondness for Karwinskii agave.
Sweetened agave, nuts, tropical fruit cheesecake, marzipan, fresh dill, bell pepper, salty brine, mace, tart kiwis
Initially strong on the palate, but can be perfectly refined with a bit of chilling or an orange peel.
A great mezcal for novices. Very herbaceous, quite similar to gin.
Herbal, smooth, one of my favorites.
