This Mezcal really wears its strength well, showing off its complex flavors.
TASTING NOTE
Bright, crystal clear. The aromatics are very intense, giving scents of agave and smoke with supporting notes of lime and tropical fruit. The palate substantially agrees with the nose delivering an agave-driven core with supporting flavors of campfire smoke, citrus zest, green melon, and hints of tropical fruit. The finish is long. Full-bodied and pleasingly balanced with a vibrant texture.
