Tasting Notes
"This mezcal is elegant and rustic at the same time. At once revealing bright floral aromatics with notes of caramelized agave followed by leather, smoke, earth, and spice. The flavors begin at tart fruits, move to delicate blossoms, and are juxtaposed with layered chocolate, espresso, and savory spice. All the while maintaining a balance supported by the mineral backbone and sapid roasty notes. This is a pleasant adventure to taste and savor."
