Lot No. 00419

Sweet aromas of bubblegum and cotton candy, hints of herbal/minty postage stamps. The flavors are a bit swampy and medicinal, a bit salinic, and very sweet. Pleasant, worth the price, but not a bottle I’d buy again.

Lot: D5014-J
Bottle No. 3381548

Beautiful expression: aromas of breakfast cereal (Corn Pops and hints of Cinnamon Toast Crunch). Sweet up front with a distinct palm sugar flavor, but moves into notes of almonds, leather, tobacco, and cocoa. Finishes rich and complex.

A fantastic bottle, and quickly becoming one of my favorites in the collection.

Batch WHK-029

Very smooth, a little thin, with a subtle but present smokiness. Lots of flavors of earth, clay, and dirt. Some cactus and asparagus in the background. It’s a little one dimensional, but it is pleasant and an excellent bottle for the price.

A truly exquisite bottle. Aromas race out of the bottle: extremely perfumey with sea breeze and seaweed, and green bell pepper brine. Licks of lavender, green szechuan pepper, and faint hints of cinnamon. The green pepper is present but not overpowering. Slightly watery mouthfeel that leaves it cooling and refreshing on the tongue.

This remains one of my favorite mezcals I’ve tasted, and I cannot recommend it more highly.
