Lot 01/19, 47%, Pedro Hernández

Nose – Fresh, soft, sweet. Bubblegum, baby powder, fresh cut grass, lemon, cream cheese, and some permanent marker.

Palate – Tangy, sour, and acidic. Tamarind, grapes, rotting mangoes, some grass, passion fruit and ripe oranges.

Finish – Dark, bittersweet and smoky. Barbecue sauce, super-dark chocolate, prunes, mango pit, and some pineapple.

Not bad! Delicious, it tastes deep and tropical. Pretty good value play to serve as a sipper or to sample a different agave varietal.

Sometimes Berta’s batches are too smoke-heavy for me, this is not one of them. It is a bit subtle overall but decently balanced with some dry fruit, cigar box, and cinnamon. It is a fine mezcal but not one I’d reach for often. This was from a tasting kit of 50ml bottles ordered in February 2022.
