The second Mezcal. I dreaded this day. It is not as bad as the last one, but it will never become a drink would order voluntarily.
The nose is a very strong Banana with the usual Ashtray and some Black Currants. While I do not mind smoke in my drinks, I do hate that particular old cigarette smell. I mean yes, I smoke myself - pipes only - but even that ash smells different. It is just that smell of "somebody smoked in here yesterday and did not open any windows afterwards" that I hate with a passion, and that keeps me from enjoying Mezcal. Because the other notes are rather nice.
Taste is ok. Ash, a lot of it, some Apricots and Honey, with a bit of vanilla. Not quite as in your face as the last Mezcal I tried, but if you need to go to this price class to get that, I'd rather stick with scotch.
There is also no aftertaste whatsoever. Down it goes, bit sweet, gone. Unimpressed.
All in all, not my world. I would drink it if somebody bought a round, but I would never order it.
