Wahaka Mezcal Nanche

It's smooth and understated. The experience is drying and a bit bitter, though with a touch of sweetness. While balanced, it's not particularly engaging. Smoke and iodine are present, with a pronounced cinnamon kick if consumed too quickly. It leans too herbal. It holds little interest after some exploration. I wouldn't want a large amount. The underlying sweet cinnamon is quite pleasant, however. It's good. It delivers a strong richness despite its subtlety.

The aroma is like fresh rain in a pine forest. The taste begins with pine, followed by pineapple as it develops. The body starts light and becomes richer towards the finish, which lasts for several minutes. There's only a faint hint of smoke. The flavors on the finish are so unique that I can't quite identify them. It really opens up.
