Mezcalosfera Tobala/​Verde/​Madrecuixe/​Cuixe/​Espadin – Felipe Cortés

Just beautiful

Was very lucky to track this down. Strawberries and peaches, fruit and pastries on the nose. More fruit on the palate–strawberries, watermelon, nerd candy. Very smooth and viscous, even, balanced, and no heat. Little bit of mint on the finish. A 5 star spirit that is excellent at every turn.

A lot of different flavors here but the alcohol is a little much. Nose also a little muted, keeping this from being a true 5 star experience. Oil, pecan, lime, and herbs on the super-long finish. Solid

Incredible. Amazingly complex flavors. Sings in your mouth and leaves your palate wanting another sip. Floral with delicate sweetness. Slight nuttiness in the finish. But like others mentioned, there’re so many flavors, it’s hard to nail down. Can drink this all day, but best savor for special occasions. Worth the price, you won’t be sorry!

First off, I want to say this mezcal scores 4.25-4.5/5.
It took a few weeks to blow off some of the 52% alcohol.
It’s peppery, eucalyptusy and savoury. Great sipper. Almost perfect dryness level. The expression of the specific
agave is lovely. Highly recommend trying this if you see it.

Just fell off the wagon with this gorgeous lady! White chocolate covered strawberries..WTF!! Sweet spicy and tangy.. the balance here is so dialed I want to hide this bottle away and only speak of it in a hushed voice ..this beautiful effort from Felipe Cortés is my new favorite

I love anything by Felipe Cortés and this one only makes me like him more. Super floral and juicy, I love it.

absolute fruit bomb and very bright. utterly drinkable to boot. a pleasure to sip on, though for all of its complexity and overabundance of flavor, it sort of just drops off on the finish. wish i could get a bottle of this.

Beautiful mezcal, and only 4/5 stars because I don’t like the floral type of mezcales too much. But this is beautifully put together: irises, violet soap and a caseous flavour in the nose, with some red clay and dried mint underpinning. Truly exceptional! Sweet in the mouth, again this strong caseous note, baked sweet potatoes, nattō. Great texture, no burn at all. Leaves a nice floral touch and slightly salty finish. (25 VII 18, lot 13SZ-17)

WOW!WOW!WOW!incredible!way too many flavors to sum up.like trying to catch a downpour in a paper cup.sweet,savory,salty mineral and floral.taste is never focused but swirls to different effects.the finish seemed to have a birth and then a rebirth.long and incredible!amazing.i feel like i need to lock this bottle in a safe and only open on the most special days!

Otherworldly flavor profile. The nose and palate are bursting with an array of hard-to-pinpoint flavors. Truly complex. Nice soft, almost velvety mouthfeel. To attempt to describe the flavor, there’s some earthiness, minerality, and floral notes – but really, its an incredibly unique flavor experience that seems almost ineffable. Worth the price tag in my opinion.

Mineral salt and a little bit of mint on the nose, the salt carries over to taste with soft vegetal notes, and a warm buttery mouthfeel going in; white pepper, celery salt, subtle smoke, Manchego cheese, and delicate sweetness in the long finish. I love this Mezcalosfera second US release.

Mind boggling! This has hundreds of flavors. It’s both earthy and futuristic at once. When humans finally terraform a new planet, I imagine that the rivers and streams of this new planet will flow with a liquid that is as delicious as this mezcal. It’s salty, spicy, and sweet. There’s so much going on that it’s really hard to describe. It’s a lot like staring up at the Milky Way. This mezcal is totally incredible.

Incredible juice. Like leathery Dr. Pepper on the nose – tons of flavors that are difficult to pick out. Like many mezcals from this region there are flavors of salt throughout. There is a lot going on here with notes of honey, cinnamon, and peat. Expensive but worth the experience.
