Founded in 2015, 5 Sentidos, also known as Cinco Sentidos, is the brainchild of two friends from opposite sides of the US who met in Oaxaca. Initially, they set out to discover unique mezcals across Mexico and serve them in a small mezcaleria. This venture eventually evolved into a highly-acclaimed 32-seat restaurant, and their nano-batch spirits started to make their way into the collections of spirits enthusiasts outside of Mexico. 5 Sentidos is all about celebrating the diversity of agave and the traditions of the people who make the spirits with rigor and esteem. They don't blend, age, or alter the spirits from their original form. The brand's offerings are a curated tour of Mexico, made by some of the best mezcaleros in the region.
I LOVE the pronounced jabali funk followed by the smoothness and earthiness of the tobala. I had a 1oz pour in a mezcal bar in CA, and it wasn’t nearly enough. They nailed this blend.
