72 reviewsCreamy, smooth river rocks, sugar and citrus, soft and supple in the mouth. No aftertaste. Easy beach sipper, but not too exciting. I have a feeling the San Marteño maguey is the star here, but at only 30% of the blend I’d have liked to try it higher in the mix.

26 reviewsMinerals and too much petrol on the nose. The petroly impression on the nose stays on the palate. Smoke starts on the pellet not a lot on the nose. Taste is flat, patrol stays. Not my favorite, but ok.

1 reviewLight, mineral, cut grass, lemon zest, not earthy or smokey. Surprisingly complex for a lighter, smoother, mezcal.
