Mezcalero Special Bottling No. 4: De Cabra

Jan 1, 2020

Boy oh boy. New Years Eve, Esquire Tavern, San Antonio. Slick, full bodied green apple and cilantro with a touch of mango on the finish. An excellent mezcal to close out the decade with.

Mezcalosfera Bicuixe – Don Job

Dec 28, 2019

Tried when Silvia came to Houston as part of Mezcaloteca’s Texas tour. Oh baby… if you like herbs and spice, this is your jam. Mezcaloteca can do no wrong right now

El Jolgorio Sierrudo

Dec 27, 2019

Bottle 28/400. Was expecting much more mediocrity based on prior reviews, but actually really digging this bottle. Doesnt punch you in the face with smoke, heat, or cooked agave, but pleasant enough to take you on a short ride. Only thing keeping this from being 5 stars is the short finish. Very very well done

Vago Tobala – Aquilino Garcia Lopez

Dec 27, 2019

Classic tobala notes. Sweetgum, pinon, and a long pappys-pipe finish. Very good, but hits like a note or two on the piano… not a whole concierto

5 Sentidos Sierra Negra-Tobala

Nov 29, 2019

Absolutely excellent. Maybe 5 stars, i dunno. Im drunk at Comedor, Austin TX. Absolutely incredible mezcal

5 Sentidos Pichomel y Papalome

Nov 29, 2019

Cucumber, mint, some cilantro

Excellent

5 Sentidos Pechuga de Papalote

Nov 29, 2019

Christmas in a glass. Crazy pine, herbs, baking spices. Not my jam, but respectable

5 Sentidos Espadin Capon

Nov 29, 2019

Funky, a little strange for an espadin. Still searching for more words

Fidencio Pechuga

Nov 29, 2019

Almost no chicken, but a lot of fruit

Pretty tasty but doesnt live up to the hype

Palenqueros Espadin – Mexicano – Bicuishe

Nov 29, 2019

Sweet. Herbal. Almost too sweet… keeping it from being closer to a 4.5 for me

Very good, best of the Palenqueros line

5 Sentidos Tobaziche – Sergio Juarez

Nov 7, 2019

Closer to 4.25. Tobaziche is my favorite varietal, and this mezcal is what I would call an interesting take on that. Not even sure I would have guess this as a karwinskii if I was given this blind. Hard to describe… but another fun mezcal from 5 senses

Vago Bien Picado – Aquilino

Oct 13, 2019

Bottle at La Viuda Negra in Dallas. Echo a lot of the sentiments below. Leather and sweetgrass. Very interesting considering the agaves/percentages involved. Outstanding for the price. Try it

Vago Arroqueno en Barro

Oct 13, 2019

2019 distillation. Real straightforward… not sure if its just real simple or my taste buds are fried because its the end of the night. Enjoyable but will revisit

Gracias a Dios Pechuga

Oct 11, 2019

Pechuga De Brisket. Las Almas Rotas
Solid, but no brisket flavor to speak of. Glad I didnt buy a bottle? Would love if they tried it again

Chacolo Ixtero Amarillo

Aug 30, 2019

Best offering ive had from Chacolo. Hard to believe this isnt an ensamble because its so complex. Wow. Like a meandering mountain road… im still not sure the finish has faded and its been an hour or so

Mezcalero No. 11

Aug 30, 2019

Las Perlas Austin still has a bottle of this. Old army surplus goods up front, antique store nose, and different dirt-like waves on the palate. Different. Interesting, but not sure I could drink this all night long.

5 Sentidos Blanco

Aug 15, 2019

Another winner from 5 Sentidos. More grassy/herbaceous than some of their other offerings, but dances on the tongue like a tobaziche or madre. Finish is burlap sack, green onions, and fruit

Sacacuento Tobala

Aug 9, 2019

Was expecting a let down but really impressed by this one. Smells more like a karwinskii but taste is like a funky espadin. Pine, saddle blanket, and some mango. Extremely good

Chacolo Brocha – Ixtero Amarillo

Aug 4, 2019

Had Chacolo twice before (once in the Wahaka VdM series and the other being a bottle procured from Mis Mezcales in CDMX)…. not this Ensamble though. Sweet corn on the nose, some fresh cut grass and limestone up front, followed by smoke and apricots. Delicious

Farolito Papalometl

Aug 2, 2019

Spice… a lotta spice. Brown sugar, nutmeg, arbol chiles. Taste doesnt follow the smell. Still not sure about this one. 3.75/5
