Intro:
Banhez Espadin Barril is produced by a cooperative of mezcaleros in Oaxaca. This is their core expression release, although their portfolio contains many other entries. Let's see how it is.
-
Nose:
Sweet cream, honeycomb, faintly ashy smoke. Nice fruity note.
-
Taste:
Super sweet - loaded with vanilla bean, cream cheese frosting, honey, toffee and salinity. Ash and satisfying woody smoke adds a savory contrast. Pepper.
-
Finish:
Short but rich, loaded with apricot, pepper, mesquite smoke and clay. Complex exit.
-
Overall:
Delightful for a bottle that is ubiquitous and easily found. It works so well in cocktails and is even more delightful neat. Strong work, Banhez.
