Tasting Notes
"Lots of metallic and minerals on the nose along with some overripe tropical fruit and a moderate amount of meaty smoke. Leather and green agave notes come in to play as well. The mezcal is soft and round on the palate with an umami quality to it. The smoke is there, but doesn't overwhelm the other flavors. The finish is more bitter than sweet and the spiced factor is on the low end. A solid value mezcal and one suited to work well in cocktails."
