643 reviewsBought on a whim because I really loved the ensamble from Juan Vásquez which was one of the first bottles released under the Gusto Histórico label. My barometer for Jabali mezcal is El Jolgorio (Ignacio Parada) and Rey Campero, the first ones I tried and releases early to the market. Everything after that is kind of ‘meh’ for me. This is just fine and has improved since opening it. However, it really does have tons of interesting notes which I think agave fans will enjoy. Dive bar seat leather, dried apricots, cigar box wood dry spice, and white pepper. I don’t regret the purchase and at the same time I think Jabali mezcals are getting a bit overhyped.. this is one of the better ones. Lot JV.03.21.JB

Wow. Just opened the bottle and the first sip was delicious. I’ve found a lot of mezcals need some time to rest and open up. They are better a month or 6 after I first open them, but this is phenomenal right away. I’m tasting it next to an In Situ Jabali that is delicious, but this is better. Way more complexity. It’s sweet in a burnt sugar kind of way with some citric saltiness at the same time. It also has a warm, homey cedar wood depth to it, that’s all really well integrated. It has a heat and spice, too, that’s just right to open up the tastebuds and it has a nice viscosity that satisfyingly coats your mouth. This is my first time having anything by Juan Vazquez, but I’m in love. It’s already my favorite Jabali I’ve tried out of 7 or 8. I just keep drinking more and more. Dangerously good. I should add that I’m generally a fan of Miahuatlan mezcals.
