Batch#2 Felt compelled to give this 5 stars. Agreed with the prior reviews, this has to be one of the best Jabali I’ve ever had. It’s light, nice spearmint flavor but creamy and complex. I’ll be in the look out for this bottle.
Purchased batch #3, not as impressive as batch #2. Not quiet as complex and creamy. This is a bit thinner but still delicious. This 4 stars.
This is an elite madrecuixe. Minty, vegetal, wonderful.
Nice Ensamble, tasty red apples come through with the tobala. The tepe gives it a nice peppery finish. Easy sipper.
At 38% the lightest mezcal I’ve ever tired. If you want flavor this isn’t it. This might be a good starter for someone who has never had mezcal.
Tried this at a bar and it’s wonderful, one of the best mezcaleros and madre cuixe I’ve tried. Will be looking to pick up a bottle.
Black bottle, edition 3, 2018. This edition is more subtle that edition #2 which I think is superior. I get green peppers, mint and vanilla. Very delicious.
3.5 stars. Edition 7 from 2015 by Ignacio Parada. Smells really nice of coffee and greens. Taste of dark chocolate and minerals. It starts out tasty but I don’t care for the finish. It doesn’t leave a lasting impression like the madrecuixe from Vago or Mezcalofera.
4 stars. Edition 19 2017. Pedro Vasquez. Bottle 99/120. Alamo city liquors exclusive. Was excited to get my hands on this, love Pedro’s juice. Very nice madre, sweet and soft. Minerals, mint, milk chocolate.
This has a candied nose. Taste like green apples. The finish is dry, not very complex.
These other reviews are spot on. Minerally, sweet with lavender. Big fan of madrecuixe and this can hang with the best of them.
Solid, down the middle espadin. Very nice for a warm up mezcal. I believe it’s also inexpensive.
3.5 Very solid Espadin from Ejutla. Pick it up if you’re looking for an affordable Espadin.
This is the best bottle RC makes. It has that wow factor. Reminds me of “special” cookies. One of the best Jabali bottles out, worth a taste.
Edition 1. This mezcal is really special, nothing else is like this. The smell is of lemon and limes. There is a taste of pickle juice and clementines. If you see it try it! 5 stars.
12/29/2018. Edition 2 bottle 34/150 Revising this review. I’ve own 2 bottles of this, it’s become one of my favorites. Different than Bach 1 it has earthy notes but also sweet I taste some grape spree candy. Nutty!
I’m a big fan of karwinskiis so this was a treat. Vegetal, minerally and minty. It’s really nice and worth a try.
This is incredible. I have a bottle of Felipe Cortes’ Madrecuixe and this ensamble is taking it to another level. Strong taste and smell of blueberries. Taste like grape PEZ. Definitely worth trying. I’ve never had a second version of this. I’ll wish
Lot PPD-003. Bottle 1374/2160. One of the best ensambles I’ve ever had. You can taste some of the flavors of Don Beto’s Dobadan from Marca Negra but with more complexity. I did some hunting for this bottle in Oaxaca and didn’t find it. It’s one of my white whales.
Lot DS001-ECT from Sept 2017. Bottle 48/1858.
I had been hearing about the field blends from Rey Campero and was excited to try this. It’s sour on the nose. It is really balanced between the Tepeze, Espadin and cuishe taste. Has a little heat on it, as campero’s do. Very enjoyable.
Lote MCJO/1804 from 2018.
3.5. Taste like lemon drops, has a buttery feel. Tasty espadin for the price.
4.5 stars. MJ320-15. Another one of Beto Ortiz’s greats. This one made me want to try everything I could from Beto.
