Lovely mouthfeel and creaminess, balanced agave, herbal and vegetal notes, some fruit notes like melon, green citrus notes, and a mineral earthiness. Well balanced, with medium smoke. An easy sipper.

Have tasted a couple other mezcals from Berta and enjoyed them quite a bit. Her Rezpiral Espadin also comes highly recommended. This espadin was sweet and luscious. Flavors of musty grape, saltwater taffy, then at the backend some minerality, spice, and heat. Wow, very enjoyable. This bottle went so fast, like her other espadin from Rezpiral.

13 reviewsReally enjoyable and approachable. No smoke on the nose but a subtle ashy taste. A lot of lime and citrus on the nose and palate and very smooth.

28 reviewsFresh and a little bit of smoke on the nose.
On the palate I find lime, mint and citrus. Even less smoke than on the nose. Nice Espadin, not a bad sip, just not spezial.

705 reviewsRGO-E2001US/2019/49.54%. Canada mints and peppermint leaves on the nose. Also a slight aroma of Pepto. The palate is not super complex. There’s some heat on this but it doesn’t overpower notes of chalky minerals, olive oil, fresh peppermint, and canola.

Nose – Grape candy powder. Slight smoky creaminess.
Palate – Sweetness is too dialed back and there is a metallic aspect – it’s like sipping diluted sugar water out of a stainless steel cup. Finish is grassy with a nice white pepper heat and smoky finish.

641 reviewsFirst sips are a bit like “spicy” peppermint toothpaste. There is a coriander and black tea note. A bit dry and hot on the palate with a white pepper note (as Rakhal mentions). Once you settle in there is some minerality. Tad bit of fruit candy on the finish. Wouldn’t grab a whole bottle but wouldn’t turn down a sip and I could see it getting better as the night went on. The higher proof at 49.54% is definitely nice. The price seems to sit around $75 USD for a 750ml bottle – hopefully the mezcalero is getting paid accordingly. This version was produced by Mezcalero Celso Luis Santiago in San Pedro Quiatoni. Batch RGO-E2001US, distilled in 2019.

Sweet and viscous – coats the tongue nicely. Lots of sweet candy notes, namely Swedish fish. Red berries, faint licorice. Then the smoke. Ashy wood smoke, faint plastic. Some minerals.
This is all over the place. That nose is insane, but I’m really not a huge fan of the one noted finish. It’s good, but man, it could have been really great.

Lote: SBG-E1601
Lots going in here. The nose is not as intense as the ABV would have one think. Full of sweetness and baking spices and hints of orange. Upon taste the mouth feel is intense coating everything. Sweet with some lactose notes on the front amd the outbreath retains that caramel baked good sweetness. Overall a real pleasant after work sipper.

NOSE : Very soft nose with a lot going on. Floral, elegant and a little tequila grassiness sitting on a bed of hay.
TASTE : sweet flowers, creamy and buttery.
FINISH : fleeting with sweet smoke.
Very subtle mezcal with a underlying complexity

8 reviewsVery slick and smooth with a brilliant creamy texture. Everything about this mezcal is delicate and incredibly well balanced which makes it such a wonderful sipper and a great introduction to the wonders of mezcal!

4 reviewsLot: SBG-E1501 made by maestro Panfilo Hernndez Reyes at San Baltazar de Guelavila in 2015. A nice fresh floral smell and taste with hints op mint. A little alcohol sting but a fine mezcal. I enjoy sipping this but it does not have a strong finish. It makes for easy sipping and danger of keep pouring it. More a mezcal for on the go, if such a thing exists…
