Maci Klein 4.3

Nose: Completely lacks smoke, very grassy, with lemongrass. Taste: Begins sweet, transitions to a salty lime flavor, then a sweet fruit taste, concluding with a light smoke and pleasant spice. Overall: Quite distinct and I'm a big fan. It's very tasty with a lot going on, but harmonizes exceptionally well.

Lionel Pickering 3.0

Intense, direct smoke balanced by a touch of fresh, grassy agave flavor and sweetness. It's good, but the smoke is too dominant for my liking. Possibly similar to, perhaps slightly sweeter than Creyente. Costs $73 in Ontario.

Shayla Hassan 3.3

Smell - sweet Taste - begins sweet and pleasant, then fades to a more metallic and unremarkable flavor End - not to my liking General impression - the finish made it not great for me

Antonio Simpson 3.3

This mezcal is accessible, though not complex. Plenty of citrus (lemon zest and juice) with some smoke. It's tasty but not particularly memorable.

Charlie Mireles 3.5

Very briny, like saltwater, with hints of smoke and bacon. After a few minutes, it develops into candied citrus notes.

Ashley Mayes 3.0

Earthy notes. A little kick for 80 proof.
