By Jacob Grier
The palate delivers notes of tropical fruit, strawberry, slate, and strong alcohol. This is not the easiest introduction to mezcal, but it will appeal to those who appreciate the funkier side of the spirit.

House Review

Nose:
Bright citrus peel, white pepper, faint walnut and delightful pepper, earthy clay and honey.
Taste:
Thin mouth feel, but loaded with flavor and complexity. Sweet almond, snappy pepper, some clay and wood smoke. Melon on the back of the tongue. Ethanol is just right, and the smoke is perfectly integrated.
Finish:
Long, crisp and refreshing. The notes are pleasant - lots of mango, sweet sugar, crisp pepper - and they wisp off the tongue. The finish leaves us with a hint of limestone, and a tiny bit of wood smoke, and then it's off.
Overall:
Big fan of this one. Excellent complexity and integration, and the finish is stellar. Excellent craftsmanship is evident.
