Animalistic! Smokiness from Texas bbq and roasted jalapeño.
Sourdough, barnyard funkiness and Cuban pastilles de guayabo
A vanilla, roasted Agave and Tropical Skittles sweetness. Some mint, basil and light smoke on the exhale.
I’ve drank this with people new to Mezcal, this and Rey Campero Jabali and Derrumbes Durango have been the favorites.

4.25/5. Wonderful clay everywhere. Rounded… slick…. Wet. Nothing really pops, but im really enjoying the melange of earthy fruit flavors i get on the back end. Nice
