Mezcal Alipús San Juan del Rio

Vernice al naso e anche al sapore unito dall'agave, finisce con un leggero affumicato

Decent dram, mild agave sweetness balanced with an earthy bitterness and jalapeño in the finish. Lacks the richness of maguey Melate expressions I’ve tried. Isn’t as tasty as most of the del maguey expressions I’ve tried. This is better than the bottom shelf Vida expression though

Tried neat from my flaviar taster box. On the nares it is very peaty and earthy with notes of dried parsley, unripened fruit, dirt, and something in between crayon shavings, homemade putty, and wood shavings. On the palate it’s a bit harsh with notes of spice & peaty with a hot and dry finish. I’m missing the smoke and smoothness here. Probably won’t be a sipper for me..

Sweet 4/5, smokey 2/5, fruity 3/5. A little harsh. Dry finish. Good mixer, not so good for sipping.

Sweet. Initially sharp heat. Soft mouth.
