The smell of agave is deep, with a hint of smoke around the edges. It tastes quite fruity when you first try it, with a natural sweetness that's enhanced by a smoky earthiness. The texture is full and balanced, with many bright top notes cutting through deeper tones. The finish is lengthy, with woodsmoke remaining on the tongue. It's a flavorful and genuine mezcal, among the superior varieties we have sampled.
As my initial experience with mezcal beyond tequila, I wished to enjoy it, but drinking it straight is unfeasible for me. Subtle tastes are apparent, yet the intense smell, taste, and lingering sensation of band-aids prevent full appreciation. I gave it to someone else for margaritas.
Wonderful, not excessively one-dimensional, a touch of sweetness, some smoke, gently layered and smooth
Smoke, grapefruit, wood, pepper. Mellow and sweet, with a touch of smokiness on the palate.
Better aroma. Good smoke. A little sweet. The finish stings.
