Bozal Mezcal Cuixe

It smells like Arta Anejo. There's a lot of mint on the nose and it's backed by some Earth, vegetation, and hint of fruit. The palate is spicy and packed with menthol - it's like a peppermint, spearmint, and ginger assault that this backed by some caramel. It's not a pleasing first impression. The spiciness is too strong and it causes a piercing burn along with a. Bit of a numbing effect. The flavor is surprisingly sweet, which really helps to counter the spice and spearmint. There's definitely a motion of atomic fireballs going on here. It's interest and fun for kids I guess, but it's not a great sipper. There's still that bland diet behind it and those bitter vegetal notes don't go away. Ultimately, the flavors don't really balance, but at least the alcohol doesn't overwhelm. The alcohol content certainly doesn't taste as high as it actually is, despite the fire in the spice. There's some smoke and balance in here eventually, but to isn't all that unusual. This is a fine mezcal that I could kind of sip, but I wouldn't want to have much of it.

Bright, floral, citrusy, like a garden

Oily, floral, light , citrus, wet

floral grass and pine, not briney or smoky. quite light, thin legs, quick finish. not for you if you need that smoke bomb for a cocktail.

Lovely pine and fruits on the nose, with a surprisingly fruity sweetness on the palate. Think apricot and guava, certainly a pleasant surprise. Classic mezcal wood smoke comes in, finishing with meaty habañero spice. A lovely tipple indeed

2018.06.13 Interesting flavor, very briny. Not sure I'd buy but worth trying.

Nose- incredibly nose clearing! menthol, pine even a hint of eucalyptus. Behind that is subtle tropical fruit. Palate - The higher alcohol percentage gives it a bit of a kick at the fore! herbaceous, vegetal notes first, followed by dry smoky wood (however, the smokiness is NOT dominant and very well integrated with the other flavours) and a lasting but gentle sweetness, like papaya.
