Noble Coyote Mezcal
The coyote has played a fundamental role in mythology. Even today in Oaxaca, it is common to hear farmers tell stories about coyotes that reach supernatural proportions. Every bottle of Mezcal Noble Coyote identifies the Maestro Mezcalero that made the mezcal, the village in which it was made, the type of agave used, and the lot and bottle number. In addition, the Maestro Mezcaleros personally sign the labels as a guarantee of their commitment to the authenticity of their ancient craft. Noble Coyote is concerned with the sustainability of mezcal and is proactively involved in ensuring its future. Among other things, they have created and maintain a seed bank for wild agave. They also cultivate species and varieties of wild agave and devote considerable effort to reforesting the land with wild agave.

Nose – Baked, sour green apple and brown sugar.
Palate – Extremely fruity – similar to the nose – this is like a tart, sweet Granny Smith apple pie. Cream cheese. Some white chocolate. Slight white pepper heat. Long, long finish. This ABV is 44.24% and the flavors are very potent.
Damn! I love this capon espadin – easily my favorite capon to date. Eleazar knocked this out of the park!

86 reviewsNot sure I would want to buy an entire bottle again but its something that mezcal lovers should try once. The salt water really come across first and then raw agave and unrefined flavors as other reviewers have attested to. Not for the faint of heart but an experience nonetheless of an increasingly rare type of mezcal. The Capon style is unique in that the quiote is cut so all the sugar/starch remain in the pina which can result in a rich and complex mezcal albeit vastly different than what we typically encounter with Espadin.

50 reviewsSweet and unrefined. This bottle was the closest thing to sucking the juice off fibers of a freshly caramelized agave – an experience I hope every mezcal lover will have at some point. Robust in sweetness as expected…like sugar in the raw. Roasted agave and sea breeze on the nose. I tried a different bottle that was less sugary and had more mineral and pepper notes, especially on the finish.

643 reviewsA delicious and different mezcal. With so many agave Espadin mezcals on the market these days it’s nice to find one that is above average. It tastes like a mezcal you’d drink while in Oaxaca.. bear with me. The flavors are a bit unrefined but organic. No sharp notes here. I get the blueberry notes that Jonny noted along with a slight lactic note, honeydew, and tobacco. There is a good funk which is different and enjoyable. The bottle lists: Marcos Brena. Oaxaca, Amatlan.

708 reviewsSmells amazing. Aromas of vanilla beans, orange cream, and cocoa. Very sweet across the palate. Notes of sweet roasted agave, blueberry cream cheese, and leather. Very sugary in a sugarcane sort of way. This was enjoyable and one of my favorites that I’ve tried from this brand.
