5 Sentidos Papalometl

Dense, vegetal agave. Sweet, earthy perfume.

This was a tasting at a liquor store, the first of three bottles from 5 Sentidos, a brand from a restaurant in Oaxaca. I enjoyed this, it had a nice mineral/vegetal flavor and reminded me why I miss mezcals in Singapore. I added this and the other three 5 Sentidos bottles as "Agave/Other" instead of as a Mezcal because the brand is careful not to call themselves a mezcal and point out that while their drinks are sourced around Oaxaca, they do not conform to the official rules/regulations around mezcal.
