overpowering medicinal/vegetal flavor IMMEDIATELY, evolving to a lime rind, unsatisfactory smoke, along with some fake vanilla hints mixed in. The finish is smooth and Smokey but leaves a lot to be desired. This comes off as a mass produced, watery excuse for an espadin mezcal. try Machetazo or Yuu Baal for a nice joven espadin. this definitely isn’t a sipping mezcal in my opinion, but good for mixed drinks.
