Wine critic from the beginning. Based in Europe. I'm especially fond of beverages with savory notes which is why I love mezcal.

Pelotón de la Muerte Espadin

Aug 10, 2018

This is my go to mezcal to mix in cocktails. It provides a good smokiness with good value.

Notes of smoke, autumn leafs, pear, dairy and citrus. I also find some violets on the palate.

Scent: 4/5
Mouthfeel: 3/5

Los Cuerudos Reposado

Aug 10, 2018

I really enjoyed this one. It’s probably the most original/unique reposado that I’ve had. You can feel that it has been aged in oak with notes of vanilla and cookies but without overwhelming the notes of the agave and the terroir(mineral, apple, and artichoke). A great balance. Light yellow in colour.

Scent: 4/5
Mouthfeel: 4/5

Los Danzantes (Los Nahuales) Anejo

Aug 10, 2018

Quite enjoyable but I would like more concentrated scent and slightly better balanced mouthfeel. Notes of flowers, caramel, cooked agave and deep fried banana. Golden brown liquid.

Scent: 4/5
Mouthfeel: 4/5

Alipus San Juan

Aug 10, 2018

I find this very sharp, unbalanced, alcoholic and unattractive. Smells of paint that stings in your nose. Not a favourite.

Ilegal Anejo

Aug 10, 2018

I enjoyed this a lot. Golden brown liquid. Notes of corn, honey, vanilla and chocolate muffins. On the palate I find a salty note and some violets.

Ilegal Joven

Not bad but nothing I would buy again. Nose is very perfumed/floral. Plus agave and mild smoke.

Zignum Reposado

Aug 10, 2018

I find this very enjoyable even though It reminds me more of rum than mezcal.

Golden brown. Vanilla, coconut, pineapple juice, almost pina colada-like!

Scent: 4/5
Mouthfeel: 3,5/5

Zignum Silver

Aug 10, 2018

A bit shy but not bad. Mild smokiness, liquorice, candy and pear.

Nice notes of chocolate and olives. Nice and smoky.

Leyendas Ancho (Guerrero)

Jul 11, 2018

This one stinks of cheese (but in a good way), also black currants, melon, tutti frutti candy, white chocolate, orange peel and compost. Lots of complexity.

Leyendas Cenizo (Durango)

Jul 11, 2018

Quite aromatic and floral. Black berry, banana, black pepper, molten leafs and dried meat. White chocolate and violets on the palate. Quite complex even though it’s not my personal favourite.

Scent: 3/5
Mouthfeel: 3/5

Leyendas Verde (San Luis Potosi)

Jul 11, 2018

This one is not smoky since the agave is cooked in clay ovens.
Notes of elderflower, lemon and jalapeno.
