About this mezcal

The Mezcal Amaras Espadin Reposado is soft-bodied with amber and bright gold tones bright.  It has a scent of warm wood, with persistent notes of cooked agave and a light touch of toasted hazelnut. There is a sweet touch of vanilla, with hints of wet wood that stays open, subtle, and long mouth.

Amaras Mezcal

Mezcal Amores (Or Amaras as it’s known in the U.S.) focuses heavily on terrior and it shows in their product. Mezcal Amores believes that humans should benefit from the ecosystem by keeping it in balance. As of 2017, they had over 145,000 agave in their nurseries and they have a goal of planing ten agave for every one agave they harvest. They also promote horizontal growth of their mezcal production across several different producers and they provide micro-loans to mezcaleros who wish to upgrade their equipment.

Also came in at 42% from Mezcalera Diana Orozco. It was aged three months and enhanced the ok flavor of the non-aged Espadin.
The aroma was fairly muted (especially compared to the regular Espadin).
The taste was sweet with less smoke.
Finish was mellow, sweet with some light pepper.
Overall this would be a good intro to mezcal if you were coming from aged tequila or even whiskey.

Nice spice for a reposado. Strong notes of vanilla and caramel followed by grapefruit and subtle pineapple. Grass notes toward the finish. Stays hot in the mouth and sweet. Fun to drink but not blowing my mind in terms of flavors.

Lote: 2 (Summer 2020)
Nose – Sugar cubes. Vanilla. Slight ethanol. A touch grassy.

Palate – Overly sweet vanilla. Salted caramel. Some oak. Grassy and sugary finish. This is an alright reposado, the vanilla is a bit overpowering though to the point of tasting artificial. I got a smaller bottle and will gladly knock it back though. 😎

Faint nose but what you do detect is smoky with fragrances of mesquite smoke and oak barrel. Light bodied and pretty simple. Very easy to sip. The crispness reminds me of a grape-based vodka like Ciroc. Slightly woody with faint caramel and smoke notes. A little boozy on the finish. A good mezcal for the reluctant newcomer or someone who wants to have a light sipper.
