Mezcal Alipús San Juan del Rio

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.

Very Smoky/Peaty

Peppery, ethanol. Nice long, light burn, though.
