Del Maguey Pechuga Mezcal

This is one of the most interesting liquors that i have had. This flavor profile is insane. If you are looking for a traditional smoky Mezcal, this isnt it. This is a whole other animal that might change your mind about what a mezcal can be. I can see how this could be very polarizing and not for everyone but i am a huge fan!

Still amazing. Love the beautiful smell and taste.

Final mezcal in a Del Maguey tasting, and what should have been the pinnacle. Nose: clean and green, pine, eucalyptus, nail polish, cashew nuts, incredibly strong smell of pet shop. Also chicken fat but that could be the power of suggestion. Taste: menthol, aniseed, some salt, bitter fruit. This is unlike anything I’ve ever had, so in that sense it is very interesting and I’m glad to get the experience of trying it. But the aniseed taste reminds me of sambuca which is off-putting due to my strong dislike for that spirit.
