- Raided Score: 92
- Publication: Distiller
- Excerpt: The palate is light and fruity, with pineapple, ripe grapefruit, lime and vanilla. More floral flavors and hot chili spice play off each other to add a subtle accent to the finish with just a hint of charcoal smoke.

House Review
-
Intro:
Fermented in open air, using wild yeasts, this expression from Rey Campero uses the Espadin agave which spends time resting in glass before bottling. Let's dive in.
-
Nose:
Sweet cream, leather, clay, lightly stinky agave. Faint pepper, faint earthiness. Lightly lactic.
-
Taste:
Rich and earthy. Lots of clay, pepper, minerality. Woody, lots of ash and smoked meats.
-
Finish:
Long, hot, loaded with ash, clay and some pepper.
-
Overall:
Nice stuff, but a little rough. The abundance of ash on the finish kind of detracts from the nose and palate for me. That said, I’d happily drink more of this.
