Del Maguey Wild Papalome Mezcal

Fantastic! Earthy and smoky but very approachable. Has a cured, meaty flavor reminiscent of salami. Subtle hints of clay. Reminiscent of an Islay scotch! One of my favorites.

Lot: PAP-171 Smells of musty leather with a hint of fruitiness trying to poke through. Taste is dark, earthy, and smoky. Complete opposite of most of the mezcales I have been sipping on lately. Leather, forest floor, black olives, portabello mushroom, sticks/dried leaves, tobacco, with notes of blueberries trying to balance out all them dark earthy flavors. Finishes with a lingering smokiness. Big, creamy mouthfeel on this one as well. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one but I very much so dig it.

So complex and interesting. Definitely much sweeter than I expected.

fruity smoky and delicious. stubborn seed Miami
