Mal Bien Alto

Jan 20, 2021

4.25/5

Imagine a dry, hot, summer day. Hot wind stirs up dust. Sweat beading on your brow. You scan the horizon for a place to take refuge. All you see is orange hued sepia and dead grass. Suddenly, an oasis appears with all the crystal clear water you can stomach; served to you in glass carafes by toga laden supermodels. Is this real or a dream?

Lalocura Pechuga

Jan 2, 2021

Im blown away. Shouldnt even be rating this right now. Is it a 5? Is it a 4? A 6? Who knows. All I know is that this is fantastic. In order for me to rank it a 5, it has to be in my top 10. While Im unsure of that, I can say its somewhere right around there. A lot going on….. smoke, bbq, marshmallows, mango, peach, apricot, cream cheese, and maybe even some truffle type flavor. This is excellent and worth the price. Seek it out!!!!!!!

La Venenosa Los Gigantes

Dec 26, 2020

Wasnt expecting how clean this was. Tequila-esque. Some minerality present, but not much beyond that. Gonna go ahead and update this review next month if oxidation changes anything

NETA Tepextate – Heriberto García Sánchez

Dec 18, 2020

What kon-tiki said. Maybe some air would do this good. We’ll see

Maguey Melate Pechuga de Mezontle

Dec 14, 2020

3.75/5

Definitely different. Almost shandy-esque. Sweet tea and melons, with some type of oats/oatmeal flavor on the back end. Interesting

Maguey Melate Cuixe – Juan Antonio Coronel Maya

Dec 11, 2020

Piloncillo. Crazy sweet. Almost like molasses. Or a dark rum. Not complaining tho, as the rest of this dram is quite pleasant. Mango, sugar, and figs/dates. Pretty good

El Buho Especial Tepeztate

Dec 7, 2020

Produce section at HEB. Cucumbers, cilantro, mint, lime. Really strange for a tep imo, because there is little to no sweetness to balance out the garden I am drinking. Not sure if I love it or dislike it….. maybe missing something? Or is my palate dog crap today? Leaning towards the latter

El Buho Especial Cuishe

Dec 6, 2020

Again, more pepper in this Buho dram. A little disjointed.. hot up front, but finish is short and smooth. Not my fave

El Buho Mezcal

Dec 5, 2020

Ok

El Buho Especial Ensamble

Dec 5, 2020

If you would have blindfolded me, I would have maybe guessed a standard espadin with some karwinskii-type ensamble. Pinon, some soot, and a tad bit of honey. Not really scratching my itch. Ok

5 Sentidos Bicuixe

Dec 4, 2020

Juicy Fruit!!! Piloncillo! A tad bit of cilantro and masa! Killer pairing with some homemade barbacoa. Excellent

Bozal Ibérico

Nov 29, 2020

Tastes like a poorly made Ensamble. Fin

NETA Bicuixe + Jabalín

Nov 28, 2020

This.Is.STELLAR. At $180 a bottle, I wish I would have bought a second. Best mezcal ive had in a while. I get more Jabalin than Bicuixe, but the combo works wonderfully. I really cant find any faults on this one.

Maguey Melate Arroqueño / Madre Cuixe / Bicuixe

Nov 26, 2020

What others said. Kinda muddled in flavor profile. Not clean or crisp, but not unenjoyable (is that a word?). Mediocre

Real Minero San Martinero

Nov 24, 2020

Pour from Suerte during happy hour. Pine, cream cheese, passionfruit, carrot cake, pumpkin pie, and more! Blown away by this one. A slight burn on the back end keeps this from being a 5.

Mal Bien Mexicano – Ramos

Nov 24, 2020

Rye-like spiciness. Or maybe more like cilantro/verbena type zing on it. Well integrated, not overly complex tho. Solid

Lalocura Tobala-Tobasiche

Nov 22, 2020

Even though this is 60% tobala, I get more of the tobaziche, to be honest. Stone fruit and rock candy.. classic karwinskii for me. Didnt blow my socks off, but another fine mezcal from Lalo

NETA Madrecuixe – Tomás García Cruz

Nov 20, 2020

Whoah. Dr Pepper, lemon verbena, maybe some tootsie rolls? Just interesting, to say the least. Really takes your palate on a trip. Worth trying just for the experience alone. The finish is strange… almost dry.. like a still cider or mead. Dang

Maguey Melate Espadin – Rodrigo Martínez Méndez

Nov 13, 2020

Smoked pears. Some sweet tea. A dash of heat throughout. Not overbearing, but has a little heft to it. Velvety mouthfeel. Very enjoyable

Maguey Melate Cupreata – Federico Valentín Alva Ibáñez

Nov 12, 2020

Standard Cupreata. Melon, lime, and basil. Slight gritiness on the back end… reminds me of Del Maguey’s Tobala for some reason
