708 reviewsLot RL-SRN-06. Clean nose, especially for a mezcal distilled in clay. Slight aromas of parmesan cheese, soft cream, old shoe polish, and a bit vanilla malt. The palate is also very clean and clear with agave flavors. Sometimes clay distillation can take over the profile, and that’s not happening here. The palate has more notes of malt, pepper, cloves, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood, and cork.
