Another fine mezcal aged in glass. On the nose is some of that mesquite smoke, toasted caramel, and a bit of melon. The palate has a strong pineapple flavor up front, but on the back end, you get this astringency and a tartness. In-between though a huge mix of these other flavors: minerality, floral notes, and some baking spices. Great complexity and richness. I picked up my bottle for under $90, so a good deal in my book. 4.25 stars/5
