Perfect entry point to high end mezcal. I first experienced it as a recommended base for a delicious cocktail the "Naked and Famous", but when I bit the bullet on the bottle to bring the cocktail to a Halloween party, I couldn't help but taste the true spirit, and the journey it took me on is unforgettable.
Minty fresh citrus and gingerbread/cinnamon nose (I've noticed variability between bottles for the gingerbread note) precede a briny and oceanic body followed by a wet mineral finish with a backbone of smoke.
Totally unique, especially at the seemingly high price.
