El Jolgorio Madrecuixe Mezcal

mild smell and minimal flavor

Whoa.

Herbal and a little dirty. Smooth.

Edition 07 from 2017, Bottle 309/800, Regulo Martinez Parada Nose is initially of pine nuts, a bit floral, very mineral, with notes of roasted agave poking though but becoming more apparent with more air time. The taste is extremely mineral with flashes of baking chocolate and very slightly minty. Finishes with more mineral, wet cement, and dirt/soil which fades into a long dusty finish not unlike an old book.

Not smooth enough for me. A bit too hot on the approach, mineral like smell and taste.
