Maguey Melate Tejate Turkey Espadin Pechuga Nicolas Nunez Martinez
Mezcal Joven — Mexico
Tasted May 27, 2022Strange. Anise is fairly strong. Not a fan. But quite viscous. Actually more black licorice than anise and chili in the finish. -
Maguey Melate Chicken Anise Lechuguilla Pechuga Dolores Gonzalez Torres
Mezcal Joven — Mexico
Tasted May 27, 2022More interesting than good. Very sharp strong anise flavor. Meat more in the nose than in the palette. That is the other secondary flavor that comes through on palette. Faint sweetness. Other flavors if present are overpowered by anise and chicken -
Not very complex but fantastic expression from maguey Melate. One of the best. Strong pineapple coconut flavors on the palette to start, then pleasant smoke and metal take over in the finish to balance. But the initial fruit notes linger long after dancing with the industrial notes. Also very viscous and rich. Excellent. Is this the mezcalera or the agave that brings these flavors?
