It smells like Arta Anejo. There's a lot of mint on the nose and it's backed by some Earth, vegetation, and hint of fruit. The palate is spicy and packed with menthol - it's like a peppermint, spearmint, and ginger assault that this backed by some caramel. It's not a pleasing first impression. The spiciness is too strong and it causes a piercing burn along with a. Bit of a numbing effect. The flavor is surprisingly sweet, which really helps to counter the spice and spearmint. There's definitely a motion of atomic fireballs going on here. It's interest and fun for kids I guess, but it's not a great sipper. There's still that bland diet behind it and those bitter vegetal notes don't go away. Ultimately, the flavors don't really balance, but at least the alcohol doesn't overwhelm. The alcohol content certainly doesn't taste as high as it actually is, despite the fire in the spice. There's some smoke and balance in here eventually, but to isn't all that unusual. This is a fine mezcal that I could kind of sip, but I wouldn't want to have much of it.
