Tasting Notes
"For an unaged mezcal, this one is unusually rich and viscous. It tastes of white grape juice with a nutty undercurrent, almost like the flavors of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. However, there is a good, peppery spice kick to it as it fades into the finish, which leaves off in only the faintest puff of smoke. "
