Intro:
This is a mezcal made from 100% Espadin by master distiller Valentin Cortes and Gregorio Martinez. It is bottled by El Jolgorio. This specific vintage, bottled in 2016, hails from Matatlan, in Oaxaca.
-
Nose:
Sweet fruits like lime, mango. Pepper, light minerality. More earthy than the 2017, but also much sweeter. Light vanilla bean presence, faint burning wood. Strong hits of agave funk.
-
Taste:
Thin to medium mouth feel. Light heat, but a good deal of flavor. Most notably, ash, charcoal, beet, vinegar, honey, light stone.
-
Finish:
Short, but pleasant. Cane sugar, pepper, light ash and rubber, then a hit of mango and lemon.
-
Overall:
Overall, pretty nice, but a bit more disjointed than I felt the 2017 is. Goes great in a cocktail, as well.
