  • Honey, light confectioners sugar. Light brine. Some faint earth. That fun cashew note is back. Pepper. Interesting but not for me I don’t think. The finish is a bit dry, and earthy.

  • Soft, complex, almost Scotch-like, the sweet wood smoke and melon-dominated aroma of this mezcal doesn't quite prepare you for its all-out smoked-chili and medicinal assault on the palate.

  • Floral, grassy, green, herbal, umami aromas and flavors of candied flowers, fruity pebbles, lemon verbena, candied ginger, and bbq. A lively Mezcal with nice notes of sweet and savory on the palate.

  • Nose:

    Almond, cashew, honey. Light clay, some faint pepper. Light banana. A little restrained on the nose.

  • Taste:

    Honey, light confectioners sugar. Light brine. Some faint earth. That fun cashew note is back. Pepper.

  • Finish:

    Medium in length. Loads of minerality, smoke, clay and earth. Dry and peppery. The fruit and sweetness is gone.

  • Overall:

    Interesting but not for me I don’t think. The finish is a bit dry, and earthy.
