Nose: Well integrated fruity and floral bouquet. A citrus note like lemonade and orange sorbet. A bright and refreshing nose but it's rather "spirity" and a little vodka-like. Palate: A fairly neutral arrival - very clean and crisp. Plaintains, apples, some subtle salt and sugars - the saltiness is of an easy, umami, mineral/vegetal character and the sugars are light and creamy, like vanilla icing sugar. More light fruity notes appear as it develops with a touch of minty anise, like a fine pastis. A pleasantly brisk palate. Finish: Short in flavour and medium in texture. The palate drops away sharply, but pleasantly, while a comforting warmth lingers with hints of peppery herbs around the sides of the tongue. No sour, bitter or metallic notes. This is a very clean and enjoyable mezcal with a pleasant smoothness. It's not of great complexity but its simplicity is engaging. It's an easy-drinking mezcal with a slightly herbal quality like a very neutral white rhum agricole or even a vodka, particularly in the finish. There is a smoky note on the nose but it is very subtle and adds depth rather than standing out. This does not have the massive profile of some mezcals but it is enjoyable as an occasional sipper and would be fine as a high-quality mixer. It is a little expensive and I don't think it really competes with the similarly priced Del Maguey expressions. "Above Average" : 82/100 (3.25 stars)
