Tasting Notes
"This doesn't jump out of the glass, but the small bit of coaxing that is required is quite well rewarded. Unusually, there is nothing sharp or pungent about the aromas of this mezcal; it's all soft mesquite smoke with hints of star anise, coriander and allspice. The palate is similarly complex and subdued, with black pepper and Turkish tobacco, and a gentle lift of sugarcane syrup right at the end. The texture is soft and generous, with no aggressive alcohol at all."
