Nose: Subdued, watery, less herbaceous than expected but still with some basil and green peppercorn back there. Still smells of SdV, massive clay and agave. Americana from SdV is just really unique to me. There’s some similar fruit but less brightness and lactic notes, a little more floral (good white pepper, coconut) compared to the dryer sheets of above.

Palate: Balance, control, good texture. Nearly simplistic, hot, creamy. Oh shit, did I already say that? Some cream cheese on the finish, less acrid, but more clay dominated with some sour / acidic tones like lime juice helping with the nearly salty minerality. A touch hot and floral.

Batch: TPCO 01 (Bottle: 169/353)
Nose: Suede. Peppered, teriyaki turkey jerky.

Palate: Spicy (white pepper) lychee (sweetness). Very hot finish – more white pepper, brine, some clay and a drop of sugar water.

Good 100 mL sample – glad I tried it.

Nose is a little sharp, lemonade and menthol. Green peppers, little to no clay presence.

Aroma of toasted wood just before it begins to char, unripe tropical fruit, and minerality. Alcohol bite is first in the mouth but gives way to crusty French bread and smoke with the flesh of underripe stone fruit. Medium-full mouthfeel.

Smoke, white pepper, and some minerality on the medium strength nose. Some pleasant youthful spiritiness there too. Smoke leads on the palate, followed by a Sauvignon Blanc-like minerality and sourness accompanied by a hint of juniper leaf (not berry, more herbal). Finish is moderately long and pleasant but light, with the white wine note dominating. It’s good, nothing at all unpleasant about it to me, but not my favorite (I prefer to have big fat base notes, but this is fairly light overall).

This Mezcal is delicious. I can’t wait to introduce this as an alternative to my friends who usually enjoy single match scotch whisky with that Highland region style and/or Armagnac’s or Cognac’s and rarely venture out. It’s medium viscous weight, long smooth finish, and flavors of apricot/peach, fruit compote, and roasted agave make this an all around crowd-pleaser Mezcal. I’m looking forward to ordering my next bottle.

Batch TPCO. Bottle 307/353. Very light nose. Aromas of smoke and salinity and minerals. The palate has a touch of shellfish, smoke, and a bit of sour green fruit. Seems light and a bit watery. Not my jam.

Not a lot of clay. Finish was sour and unpleasant for me. The flavors mid-palate are just fine. Tasted next to Cuentacuentos Coyote and Siete Misterios Coyote and this was the least favorite. 2017. TPCO 01. Bottle 307/353. 2.5 stars.

FEB 2021 UPDATE – Tried the 2018 TPCO-01 batch and enjoyed it more. Some dense clay funk and sour fruit. Not very complex but much better than the previous batch. This was a 100ml mini bottle. 3.5 stars.
