Neither good or bad

It delivers a straightforward experience with its clear, smoky essence and a gentle undercurrent of sweetness. The smoke is well-balanced, ensuring it doesn’t overpower the mezcal’s natural flavors. It’s an accessible mezcal that offers a simple yet satisfying sipping experience. While it earns three stars for its uncomplicated nature, it’s a solid choice for those new to mezcal or looking for a daily sipper. The finish is smooth, leaving a pleasantly earthy aftertaste.

Holy moly that’s smooth!

I’ve written before about my lack of love for pechugas (typically I think they are gimmicky), but this one adds rather than detracts. You get the viscous, oily mouthfeel that you come to expect. In terms of flavor, the fruity, nutty additions actually PLAY INTO the taste of the agave rather than distract from it. Somehow they managed a harmonious combination. It’ll cost you, but it’s worth showing off to guests.

Cocktail Mezcal

It’s a cocktail mezcal, I would not necessarily recommend it for sipping. But on that price level (found it under $20), that’s what you expect. When you look at it from that perspective, it is not a bad choice. We made palomas with it and also mezcalitas, the smoke comes through, which I liked.
