  • The entirely savory aromatic set yields to some sweetness on the palate, more like vinegar-spiked fruit, but this is primarily a savory mezcal, briny and appetizing.

  • The palate shows fresh sage, lemongrass, and lime peel, plus a spicy burst of fresh jalapeno on the long, grassy exhale.

  • Gentle smoke and a soft palate; a great higher end Mezcal for the novice Mezcal drinker, but after they're already gotten over the hump and don't need to be convinced they might like Mezcal in the first place.
