The ex brandy makes this very interesting, a little more sweetness and less vegetal.

Day 16 advent calender. Tried neat. On the nose it’s very smoky how I like a mezcal to be and slightly sweet. Notes of fruit, zest, and bubblegum on the nose. On the palate it’s smooth and smoky. Definitely will come back to this one.

Love the smoky flavor profile of this one. One of my favorites. For those who are craving a full-bodied mezcal, this will hit the spot my friend!

Restrained smoke, sweet agave, fruity, citrus, honey, feels easy and refined on the palate with a short finish.
