Very pleasant Espadin, perfect for intrducing someone new to Mezcal.
A gentle smokiness, notes of herbs, chocolate and leather on the nose. Very slight alcohol bite, easy to sip and enjoy.

This mezcal is produced in rather limited quantities by a ’boutique’ cooperative in Oaxaca state.
For a reposado it is actually quite nice. Made from 100% Espadin, it has lightly smokey taste with hints of caramel and roasted agave. A smooth and fairly mild sipper…

Lote: DS017-MC, Mescalero:Vicente S Parada
New to this site, but not to Mezcal tasting, after having spent many, many years visiting Oaxaca and Mexico. The Mezcal industry is going through considerable change!

Anyway, I find this Cuishe agave offering (at least the lote I tasted) a little on the harsh side, maybe letting the alcohol bite evaporate might have helped… Some interesting earthy notes but overall noticed an oily finish… not my favorite.
