Lot 06-M-19. I am really enjoying this. A bit of spice, smoke and sweet.

MIG-INA-001 Bottle: 787
It has a really nice flavor profile as others have mentioned. Then I kept tasting blue cheese, a flavor I really don’t like. I was at least heartened that others tasted the same thing. My bottle also had the “2” on the front. I liked everything about it except that note, and, perhaps because I don’t like blue cheese, I couldn’t get rid of it minutes later. If you don’t mind that note, then it scores more like a 4.25-4.5 for me.

Lot 8 bottle 22/22. This is one of the best spirits I have had, regardless of type. I am not good with naming all of the flavors, but I found it to be a perfect blend of roasted flavor with just enough sweetness and a tiny bit of spice on the finish. I found it to be more balanced than the Guerrero Cupreata Capon from Pal’Alma, but similarly delicious. I go back and forth between them and prefer this one slightly. I didn’t like the Salmiana from San Luis Potosi nearly as much as this one. EDIT: I still love this but after trying a number of others, I am rescaling to 4.5 stars for consistency with other things I have tried. I also now definitely get chocolate on this one. I also like the Salmaina much more and will post a review on that separately.

Lot 12, bottle 8/76. My first review and mezcal so take that into consideration. Smells a bit funky, for lack of a better word. But the aromas are quite different from the flavor to me. In the middle/end of the palate I get a rush of sweetness, almost as if it turned into agave sweeter for just a second. Very cool, if you ask me. I really enjoy it. I don’t pick out flavors well, so I can’t add to others.
