Burrito Fiestro Cenizo

Nose: Tropical fruit, citrus, mint, buttery caramel. Palate: Sweet arrival with tropical fruits and a green vegetable background. The texture is creamy and silky but crisp. Finish: Medium. Fruity and mildly smoky with lingering sweet notes. A quick snapshot review – I tasted this at a local liquor shop pop-up stall. This is one of two core-range mescals from Burrito Fiestro, and is labelled as their “Cenizo” expression as it is made from 100% wild Agave Durangensis (cenizo) that is gathered at an age of 12 years. Very pleasant. It’s less spicy and more sweetly floral than the stablemate “Ensamble” expression and like that one it is also a good mescal and fair value, but not in the top echelon. The two expressions have different profiles but are equally enjoyable. “Good” : 83/100 (3.5 stars)
