Initially I was not too sure about this one. Upon opening the bottle I definitely picked up the mustiness mentioned by another reviewer — like a damp cellar or mineshaft entrance. Then there was the ashy or chalky dryness. Didn’t especially get the promised grassiness but there was some blue cheese dank in there. Overall quite savory and different from what I have been drinking previously. On the second time I tried it things seemed improved, so possibly it needed a little time to air.

It’s not overly perfumed or complex like certain Tepeztate mezcales which I love, but it is super raw and organic. Ashy minerals and burnt sugar. Toned down Altoids. 04.20.JV.TX batch. 200 liters.

Palate – Initial sweetness like letting a few sugar crystals melt on your tongue. Grilled and charred poblano peppers. Aftershave gel. Campfire ash. A very, very rich Tepeztate (after about 2 oz in one sitting I could see if being a bit too much).
