5 Sentidos Pechuga de Mole Poblano

Mar 4, 2019

absolute bliss!very few spirits are sublime but this one fits the desciption!. the nose is rich with coco,spice,fresh baked bread and poblano.the entry is sweet with strong agave and the taste expands to include the mole and savory chicken.the poblano stands out and on the finish are notes of molasses and cinnamon.each of the flavors really stand out but are all balanced.the texture is like syrup.it is silky and the finish is long.i would give it 6 stars if possible!one of the best i have tasted!

Sacacuento Tobala

i was excited to try this because i really enjoyed the joven and extra anejo from this brand.i had to search the internet to find it and perhaps my expectation was too high.it is a good mezcal but fell short of excellence.the nose is weak with hints of agave.the flavor was earthy tobala but was also weak.some mild sweetness on the finish but lacking detail.the cost was 120.00 and i was expecting more.to be fair,i sampled this shortly after opening the bottle.i have found that time will open up flavors.i will try again and update if it has changed. UPDATE 6-7-19 :wow! this blossomed wonderfully.very floral with sweet fruit flavors.cherry,apple and different assorted melon flavors.finish has a hint of smoke with a medium length and honey sweetness.exceptional!!!

the least favorite of this label.nose is average and comparable to any mezcal that would be on the inexpensive price range.i get smoke and bittersweet agave on the tongue and not much else.not offensive but would not be my 1st,2nd or 3rd choice. UPDATE 2-29-20. i saw this bottle in the back of my closet and had not been touched in a year or more.when i opened the bottle it was a completely different mezcal! the nose came to life with notes of melon and vanilla.the taste reminded me of the sweet tart candy called spree.the finish was mild,sweet with pleasant smoke.once again,it proves that time can change a mezcal and this was a vast improvement.

Mezcalosfera Espadin con Cacao – Margarito Cortés

this brand is always a pleasure.it isnt the best of this label but it is very tasty.there is no mistaking the espadin smell and the chocolate aroma is reserved.the taste is very sweet and the bittersweet dark chocolate is up front.midway is when the espadin flavor comes in.the finish is a beautiful mix between the two.i dont really detect other distinct flavors but what you get is gentle (in spite of the high proof),sweet,and full flavored.this is worthy of praise. it is a chocolate lovers mezcal.

this is very good mezcal.4 and a half stars.the nose has lots of spice and black pepper.the initial taste is rich with agave sweetness.it morphs into a dairy quality that reminds me of a spicy cheese dip.i get a similar taste with the derrumbes potosi.i assume this is a flavor profile of agave salmiana but have had only two salmiana mezcals.the finish has no smoke with green peppers and agave sweetness.it might not be for everyones taste but i found it to be very enjoyable and a great price point.excellent quality.i value mezcals that are unique.

5 Sentidos Madrecuixe – Atenogenes García

Nov 9, 2018

amazing mezcal!very strong notes of fresh mint up front.the taste blossoms into a sweet vegetal fruity mix that is never dominated by a flavor but continues to revolve.it is a well defined karwinski but it goes a step beyond.long sweet finish with hints of smoke.outstanding!for the longest time i considered the vago madre the king of the hill when it came to this agave.it is still one of my favorites but this one seems to have an extra gear!the nose seems to match the flavors but it has a musty funk under the other smells.beautiful!

Mezcalosfera Bicuixe/ Madrecuixe/ Verde – Emanuel Ramos

wow!this one has a very deep, dark semi sweet quality.the nose is spicy and dry.the initial taste is mushrooms,mild black pepper and potato.the agave sweetness opens mid-way but is reserved.the finish lingers with leather and spicy tobacco.complex,savory and delicious!

almost a 5 star!savory and vegetal to start.mid way opens to semi sweet dark chocolate,earth and clay.the finish has mild spices that i cant define.it is complex and has different layers that are subtle.it has some sweetness but is not one of the sweeter mezcals.it is delicious and unique.the price for the quality is good.4 and a half stars.

BEAUTIFUL!this is the first of this brand i have tried.very expensive but i found out where my money went on the first sip.outstanding and it seems that a strong berry flavor is a common thread with this line after i read the reviews.it is soft-candy with strawberry and blueberry notes.no harshness.full flavor from start to finish and the taste lingers for a moment.it doesnt have the earth tones that are the usual for a karwinski.no smoke that i could detect.very fruity with some clay.this was also my first sanmartin.a true treat !

Bruxo No. 2 Pechuga de Maguey

Sep 26, 2018

this is one i didnt give credit to at first.freshly opened and seemed like a good but average mezcal.personality of an espadin.it sat on my shelf for about a year and decided to give it a second try.wow!it really picked up a lot of complex notes.the nose had faint smoke over grilled fruit.the entry was vanilla and sweet pepper and mid way there were citrus notes of orange and lemon.the agave was expressed more on the finish and very silky.i am repeating myself but a mezcal can really change for the better after the bottle has been opened and the bottle has rested.so if you have a mezcal that you werent impressed with and its been sitting in a cabinet for a while….. give it another try!

Bruxo No. 5 Tobala

very soft mezcal.not the typical tobala flavor but does have the same personality.subtle sweetness with earthy potato.clay notes mid way with a gentle finish.i didnt get much smoke and it was different from other tobalas.a pleasant linger on the tongue.very good but i think the barrill made by this brand is fantastic.

was expecting more for the price (100.00).good mezcal.fruit forward.taste of cantelope honeydew and some notes of mixed berries.slight agave on the finish.very light.pleasant taste but not outstanding.doesnt have a strong tobala profile.

amazing flavor.i get almost nothing on the nose but the taste was worthy of a rare 5 star rating.my opinion follows the other ratings.it is bright ,sweet and floral.there is a a wonderful mix of citrus and burnt sugar on the finish.this mezcal is suprisingly light but full of flavor.mr ortiz can do magic!

5 star mezcals are special.not only is this one delicious but is unique.very easy and pleasant to the senses.the nose and the taste are the same.what you smell is what you get on the tongue.lovely mix of mild spices with black pepper standing out.creamy texture with a hint of cheese and bread on the finish.reserved honey sweetness.it all blends in a beautiful way.

good quality mezcal.has similar taste to a fine aged tequila but still has a little espadin profile.no smoke and a cherry flavor comes through.it taste natural and i find it easy to sip on.no harshness.good bargain.not quite 4 star but good.

Bozal Ancestral

this was not what i expected from a cupreata.the initial impression is very dark,herbal and earthy.it is very good with complex spices and slight sweet agave but the sweetness is reserved.notes of smoke mixed with black pepper and green chili.medium heat.bold and complex.i would give this a 5 star on a cold fall or winter evening.seems more suited for cooler weather.looking forward to trying again but i must admit i will have to be in the mood for this flavor.at least 4 and a half stars (in summer).

delicious mezcal.first time to try this brand and i was impressed.gentle and smooth from the start and a pleasant bite on the finish,agave notes are defined clearly but what stood out was a lovely vanilla flavor.very natural taste and the price is a bargain.

i get alot of cherry/berry fruit up front.its not tart but the sweeter side of fruit.slight hint of green peppers and a nice bite on the finish.good spice and a high quality mezcal.

Los Nahuales Special Edition No. 1

really nice mezcal!first time to have a sierrudo agave.it fits the profile of americano.its bold and sweet up front and a strong note of black pepper kicks in mid way.this reminds me of the mezcalero #15(sierra negra).the cuishe is faint with vegetal notes on the end.no harsh notes.very pleasant spice and sweet balance.gets the saliva going!

this is an excellent mezcal!it is very strong but not harsh.at 52 %,a little goes a long way.this was my first experience with agave funkiana and univittata.it is very delicious and very compact.the first impression is sweet with some tart fruit notes.mid way opens up to savory salty mucho agave.the real suprise was a flavor of cheese on the finish.it all ties together in a beautiful unique way.it is bursting with bold flavor.be careful with this one because it will go straight to the brain!i would give this one 4 and a half stars!
