Nose is tropical, earthy, green peppers. It’s very rustic, cantaloupe, sweet, earthy, & baked goods. Very complex mezcal that changes the more you drink it. Definitely one of the best Campanilla offerings.

The nose on this is sweeter than other Campanilla I’ve tried, earthy and I get a cake frosting note. The palate is similar, reminds me of vanilla cake, wood chips, cinnamon spice. Has nice complexities, worth trying multiple times.

I think this is my favorite Campanilla I’ve tried so far. Very inviting nose, tropical fruit, jalapanos, and baked goods. I loved this immediately when I tried it. It starts with tropical fruits then morphs into a cinnamon bun, & nutmeg spice finish. Truly a great mark from SLP.

Pleasant nose, floral, sweet peppers, olive brine & nutmeg. On the tongue, it doesn’t quite hit for me as much as Jaime’s verde. It’s a bit subdued, but it’s still quite good. Flavors are rustic, with jalapenos and cinnamon.

Batch VR.05.22.VM. This is a tasty Mihuatlan karwinski bomb. Nose of wet rain on cement, citrus, and red berries. This has the classic slate and minerals. It also has notes of raspberry, green apple, a hint of chocolate and a little spice. A sublime offering from Mezcalero Victor Ramos.

Nose is clean with notes of cherry and grapes. The palate has grape soda notes, and peppercorn. Not overly complex, has a short finish. Review on a tiny sample.

The nose has notes of herbal cherry cough drops. This is a delicate mezcal, notes of chocolate, cherry soda, and it’s buttery. There is a giant i’gok plant outside of the Durango airport if you’re looking for some seeds to grow.

The nose is amazing and inviting, notes of grape candy. This has flavors of cannibis, earth, and citrus tang. Nice expression of lamparillo.

The nose is delicious, creamy hazelnut coffee and herbal tea. The palate is earthy, herbal, spicy, and a bit of that creamy coffee. Just have a tiny sample, would like to try some more.

Batch IJ.04.21.TB. Big aromas of fresh oranges. This is a citrusy tobala, vegetal as well with a peppery finish. Absolutely worth trying for a different perspective on tobala.

Lot 01/19. Alberto Vasquez, Sola de Vega. Nose is dark fruit, clay, slate. The palate has chocolate, coffee, plums, root beer with a little spice on the finish.

Batch: March 2019. Nose has grape, bubble gum and rainforest. Taste similar to a Oaxacan mexicano, very cool they grew their own with seeds from Oaxaca. It has some creaminess, grape hard candy, earthiness and coffee.

Batch: March 2019. My favorite of the current releases from Palomas. Nose has lemon/lime and fresh flowers. The palate is similar to the nose citrus, anise, tropical fruits. The finish is like a tropical negroni.

Batch: March 2019. Smells of green apples, and oranges. On the palate I get orange creamsicle, and sour gummies. The finish is not as good as I’d hope it’s a bit bitter as previously said which lowers it a tad on my score. Overall it’s tropical and tasty.

Truly a special bottling. The perfect tequila. Nose is real clean, notes of black pepper and floral. Has silky texture, it’s delicate. Tropical, caramel on the palate. Worth a buy.

Batch: JALU1122. Wet earth and clay on the nose. Taste of dark fruit, holiday spice, sugar cookies and leather with a long finish.

Batch April 2022 bottle 33/70. Nose has citrus & teriyaki sauce. On the palate I get the acidic champagne flavors others get. Also reminds me of sour Skittles with a savory finish. A unique one.

Discovered this gem in Copenhagen at The Barking Dog. My favorite La Venenosa bottle to date. Nose has soy sauce and chocolate. Really complex on the palate. Get chocolate covered berries, and sage with a long lasting finish.

Batch JAEN1122
The nose has clay and sugar cane. On the palate it starts out earthy and tobacco then has a finishing punch of sweet espadin and red berries. It’s a nice 50/50 ensemble showing both expressions.

Batch JAEC1122
One of the more interesting espadins I’ve had this year. The nose smells of butterscotch, wet forest and ripe agave. The palate is minerally & earthy. It’s really complex, rich, and has a long sweet finish. This is one I keep going back to.
