32 reviewsEverything about this was a little muted. Nose was faint. Vaguely sweet and nutty.
Notes of vanilla and wood and artificial sweetener. More watery than I like. Finish is earthy and mellow. Decent mezcal! Better than a mixer mezcal but not something I’d go out of my way to drink

I actually get the madrecuishe notes, which are always welcomed (creamy, ‘soft/cottony’ with some woodiness as well). I also get some peanut brittle as well. This one is good..nothing wrong with it (end is slightly too harsh), but overall just seems a little too light and watery. To me this is probably one of the best from this brand though. 3.25 stars.

The nose reminds me of the holidays. Lots of fruity notes – plum, cranberry, dried apples. Baking spices. Clove oranges and cassia cinnamon. Calcium-rich water and metallic aromas. Iron, copper, and tin. Warm, sun-soaked flip flop. Lastly, a tiny bit of anise.
Very briny, sea salt flavor on the palate. Unpleasant at first that takes time to acquire a taste for. Driftwood, seaweed, beach air, dune grasses. Fennel, peppercorn, and newspaper.
The baking spices return on the finish. Chai, Chinese five spice, wood bark. Again a paper flavor. Chalk and its associated weird, dry texture. Astringency builds on the finish like oversteamed vegetables. This is salty, not savory.
Very nearly unpalatable. It’s like drinking a mouthful of the Atlantic ocean. This is not balanced at all and the nose is its sole redeeming characteristic.

Don’t get the typical green or woodiness from madrecuishe on the nose, just a bit of campfire and mesquite. Flavors are interesting: a generous does of heat, a nice flavor of a fruit packed in syrup (think fruit cocktail), aromas of pine, and green watermelon rind. Mouthfeel is also a bit thin like the espadin. Not as herbaceous as some madrecuishes that I have tried, but it has some interesting flavors and nice overall balance.

103 reviewsQuite different that the Espadin/Madrecuixe blend. But I think I like it. I get Zack’s peanut brittle in the aroma along with some fruit and a slight funk.
Taste is really earthy-almost dusty desert with hardly any smoke profile.
Aroma is long and bring s out some good flavors. There’s some good heat here as well with pepper and more earthiness.

Kind of watery and metallic tasting. The same vanilla and caramel flavor that the other Casa Manglar expressions I’ve tasted have. Some cinnamon as well. Not terrible but not my favorite.

Nose – Overly sweet peanut butter brittle. Walnut shells. Red apple. Some ethanol.
Palate – Baking walnuts. White chocolate. Slightest bit of earthy soil. The sweetness aspect is somewhat artificial tasting. Long finish, hot for the 45% ABV. Not a bad Madrecuishe but there are better out there. Even though this presently under $50 in California, I’d pony up more for a bit better Madrecuishe. It’s decent though.
