Koch el Mezcal Espadín

So much more smooth, with a hint of caramel, than Los Siete Misterios

When you first nose this you get one dominant note- Rubber! Think freshly paved road and that's essentially what your smelling. Once it opens up, then you get clay, mesquite wood ash, and roasted agave. Taste is similar, big rubber notes and lots of smoke, followed by a vegetal note/roasted agave, and mineral notes. It would be top shelf, but what brings it down is that it is very alcoholic. At times you can work with it and other times it gets very hot that it'll numb you.

very good

One of the best handcrafted mezcal's around, you will find fine herbal and coconut notes on it, give it a try next time you are on the move looking for a high quality mezcal!
