- Raided Score: 88
- Publication: Distiller
- Excerpt: This espadín has a good amount of smoke, but does not overwhelm and has just enough sweetness on the front and mid-palate, but finishes fairly dry. A great mezcal that can seamlessly transition from being mixed in cocktails to being sipped neat or on the rocks.

House Review

Intro:
This is an artesenal Mezcal distilled by Pedro Hernandez in the San Baltazar Guelavila village. This is batch 01/19 - let's see how it is.
-
Nose:
Sweet, fruity, corn forward. Confectioners sugar, mild clay, some dirty and pepper.
-
Taste:
Thin on the palate - not a ton going on, but it's pleasant. Melon, pepper, faint smoke. ABV feels about right.
-
Finish:
Short to medium in length - sweet, some charcoal and some burning wood. The smoke isn't agressive, and wisps away cleanly.
-
Overall:
Overall I like this - it far exceeded my expectations for a bottling so inexpensive.
