- Publication: Tequila Raiders
- Excerpt: Honey, light confectioners sugar. Light brine. Some faint earth. That fun cashew note is back. Pepper. Interesting but not for me I don’t think. The finish is a bit dry, and earthy.

- Excerpt: Soft, complex, almost Scotch-like, the sweet wood smoke and melon-dominated aroma of this mezcal doesn't quite prepare you for its all-out smoked-chili and medicinal assault on the palate.

- Publication: Tastings
- Excerpt: Floral, grassy, green, herbal, umami aromas and flavors of candied flowers, fruity pebbles, lemon verbena, candied ginger, and bbq. A lively Mezcal with nice notes of sweet and savory on the palate.

House Review

Intro:
Distilled by Tio Rey, this ensemble en barre is a blend of 67% Espadin agave and 33% Tepezete agave. It is bottled at a generous 48.5% ABV. Let's see how it is.
-
Nose:
Almond, cashew, honey. Light clay, some faint pepper. Light banana. A little restrained on the nose.
-
Taste:
Honey, light confectioners sugar. Light brine. Some faint earth. That fun cashew note is back. Pepper.
-
Finish:
Medium in length. Loads of minerality, smoke, clay and earth. Dry and peppery. The fruit and sweetness is gone.
-
Overall:
Interesting but not for me I don’t think. The finish is a bit dry, and earthy.
