87 reviewsEasily my favorite mezcal that I own. Only let my closest friends taste this one lol It is only available in Oaxaca at the moment but not sure if that will change– if you get a chance to go to the Tasting at the 5S tasting room in Oaxaca, be sure to try this AND buy it. A rare combo of two Americanas, the best way to describe this bottle is that it tastes like you are drinking a bbq pit lol It’s really hard to describe but every time I take a sip, i say DAMN. Signature minas clay pot flavor. The nose and flavor is the same and amazing: a sweet balance of smoke, clay pot, cinnamon, floral and dark soiley flavor profile. If you can get a hold of Tio Pedro’s Arroqueno, it’s similar in flavor profile and for sure available in the states.
