Not sure that I’ve had any other mezcals fermented in the cow hide.
Always love Mexicano, feel like you can taste that this mezcalero has been doing this for a long time. Absolutely delicious.
Another of my favorites from the Maguey Melate taster pack. Give me all of this espadin.
Seeing this is classified as a sotol makes so much sense, was not the typical flavor profile i was used to with mezcal. leans earthier.
One of my favorites from the tasting batch, real tasty. Cupreata an underrated agave.
Very unique, wasn’t my favorite of the taster batch. Don’t have a lot of tasting notes on these, but going with the gut feel rankings.
Remembered this one being a bit chocolate-y, but this was the last taste of the night. Will see if this holds up next time I open up the bottle. Brought back from Mexico by a friend
A few mezcals into the tasting at this point, but i remembered this one being tasty. A little lower on the ABV than I usually like (this one was 42%). Brought back from Mexico by a friend.
Review #100!!!!
Love the color of this bottle. A lot of my favorite agaves here, not a lot of bite but leans a bit sweeter.
Black bottle. Always a treat, but I need to revisit this one. 48% Edition 05
Had a heavy hitting bottle from Real Minero right before this, and asked the bartender what the strongest mezcal they had was. Turns out it was a Raicilla. Super interesting that it was just the puntas. This one came in at 62.4%
More fresh and fruity than other karwinskii’s I’ve had. Coming in at a nice 51.8%, very tasty, very smooth.
This is good, does not taste like it’s 50%. Looking for a little more kick
Real Minero makes some of the best clay pot mezcals out there, to where you notice its clay pot but not overwhelming. This was a really nice ensamble
March 18 – Lot 1. Slightly funky, but i enjoyed this. Previously had only had the funkiest raicilla and wasn’t super crazy, but this turned me onto a slight funk.
Black Bottle – Edition 01, Harvest 2014. Had this among a few other amazing mezcals and this was the absolute winner. I had ordered not realizing Cenizo was a Karwinskii and that definitely explains why i loved it so much.
I had this as part of a generational tasting next to the Papadiablo Ensamble (by his father, Don Beto), and while this is an absolutely delicious mezcal it is tough to compare next to that delicious mezcal. Been leaning more heavily toward ensambles lately.
