Tasting Notes
"This begins as a robust and savory expression of arroqueño. There is a freshness in the beginning with notes of romaine lettuce and fresh lime, but that quickly unfolds to reveal mustard, grilled meat and a solid but not aggressive smokiness. On the palate, notes of ash, lime juice, and tropical fruit: ripe mango, kiwi, and pineapple. A very well made mezcal that is easy to get into and really speaks of where it’s from."
