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.
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.
