Most interesting mezcal I’ve had in a while. Vegetal and fruity notes on the nose, like jalapeño and pineapple. Palette is super soft and creamy, with a light mineral finish. The cool thing is a few seconds after you think it’s done this lime note comes on the very very back end.

Lote 42 – I loved the 100% cupreata expression, but looks like they’ve now made their flag ship product an ensemble of Cupreata, Tequilana, and Manso. I REALLY enjoyed this new batch. The aromas are of stone fruit, unripe mango and plantain. The palate is balanced, but rich with minerality and a soft agave sweetness. The smoke is nuanced on the back end and the proof is high enough that it made great cocktails. Definitely recommend this!
