68 reviewsI was really intrigued by the 4 different karwinskii plants here but I’m not super impressed with this bottle yet. It has an interesting texture, not as smooth as I expected and a bit harsh with the burn– but not like how I get with Rey Campero products lol. The flavor profile so far reminds me a lot of the mezcalero 18 and 28 bottles, very tart and almost like root beer bottlecaps on the front of the palate. It’s changed a bit since I’ve opened it so I’ll revisit as always if it gets better as I drink it. It’s a solid bottle but I was hoping for a bit more complexity and earthy, greenness.

This is delicious mezcal.
On the nose its creamy karwinskii fragrances, some copper salinity from the barril balances with greenness, banana and grape.
The palate is full of notes of juicy green goodness that morphs into chocolate and fruit and coppery minerality. Fantastic mixture of different karwinskii magueys.

Agave: 4 types of agave Karwinskii
Proof: 52.94%
Mezcalero: Gonzalo Martinez Sernas
Nose: Dark fruits at a candy shop, a tiny bot of paint thinner, mint at the end
Palate: Nothing out of place. No burn, no tingle… a bit of a menthol note high in the upper nasal passage.
Flavors: Lots of citrus and mint, and that wonderful karwinskii herbaceousness.

654 reviewsFull throttle 100% Karwinskii ensamble… I’m digging it. This is unique given most ensambles features two or more agaves species. Not dry at all.. lots of sweet syrup notes with some sugary complexity like meringue. ABV is in control. An enjoyable mezcal but not necessarily something you’d guess would be multiple types of agaves versus one type of karwinskii agave.
