  • Intro:

    Produced by Don Baltazar Cruz, this release of Mezcalero is made with Tobala, Tepeztate and Cirial. This expression was rested in glass for 22 months before bottling. Lets dive in.

  • Nose:

    Sweet and floral. Clay, honey, earth salt and light smoke. Ashy smoke - not like burning wood or savory meats. Really nice floral component to the agave stank.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel. Nice body. Salty, earthy, good bit of clay. Pricky ethanol, but not too hot. Leather, tobacco, savory brine.

  • Finish:

    Short in length but rich and savory. Honey, seared pears, honey, caramel, light clay and a good deal of earthy character to balance out.

  • Overall:

    Really big fan of this one - great complexity and character with flavors I love to keep me coming back for more.

  • Score:
