50ml mini bottle tasting series, tasted neat at room temp.
Clear and light legs in the glass. Nose is mineral and lime citrus, kinda perfumy and floral. Funky earthy, green compost, and then a growing saline and mineral flavor battling it out in the mouth. Little smoke or ethanol. Kinda grassy and kinda flat. Finish turns sour, approaching rancid--a flavor that I now recognize was underlaying that compost--and then disappears quickly. Would appreciate some smoky agave or even some ethanol. Flat.
Oddest joven mescal I've had, more like a reposado tequila, but that underlying funk... that is an odd chemical performance... not in a good way.
