"Crema de Mezcal, is a combination of Miel de Maguey (unfermented syrup of the roast agave) and Mezcal San Luis del Rio – double distilled from 100% mature agave Espadin, produced the original, natural 400-year-old, hand-crafted way." - Del Maguey Website. So this is more or less a Mezcal liqueur, which is pretty cool. Priced well, let's see how it is.
Light smoke, confectioners sugar, faintly fungal, with lots of citrus.
Rich and thick, but syrupy sweet. Lots of confectioners sugar, faint smoke, light clay. Overall, a nice blend of agave spirit and syrupy sweetness.
Short, but smoky and rich with clay and earth.
Unique and interesting as a sweetened agave for cocktails but I'm into it. I wouldn't compare this to a traditional agave, though, so let this live on its own island for now.
