Del Maguey Santo Domingo Albarradas Mezcal

The Santo Domingo starts off with a fresher, less Smokey and fruitier nose. There is citrus, pear and green apple while the smoke simply lingers in the background. I also detect a hint of fresh smokeless gun powder The palate follows the nose but in the opposite direction. There is an oily mouthfeel. The smoke hits first but very light. Then there seems to be a roasted fruit like you baked lemon and apples over a campfire The finish is semi long with pepper and nutmeg and a hint of cinnamon. Finishes like an islay scotch

Nose of rock, smoke, wood, orange and leather. Tastes of smoke, char and agave.

Sweet sweet leather and earthy on the nares. Less smoky on the palate with a sweet finish

Delicious

Vegetal, green peppers, smokey molasses, hints of mango, herbs, and for some reason, strawberries. A complex mezcal and represents one of my favs.

Unique in the best way, fruit notes, minor alcohol after taste
