About this mezcal

This mezcal was produced in the destileria Los Danzantes in Santiago Matatlan, Oaxaca. It was made by their mezcalera Karina Abad, who supervises all the roasting, milling, fermentation, distillation, and bottling for Los Danzantes/Los Nahuales. She also coordinates and manages the production and bottling of Alipus and Mezcalero. The Los Nahuales Special Editions are her special project.

49 reviewsA bit dry and closed. A nice creamy lemon note throughout and minerals in the finish. Kept hoping it would open up show more.

641 reviewsThere are some really nice bright fruity flavors here along with clove spice. However, it’s a bit dry and there is a slight chemical note present. I enjoy the first Los Nahuales Special Edition more than this one. That said, I’m still eager to try to next special release from this mezcalera.
