A fine, middle of the road espadin. Plums, cucumbers, basil. A little smoke. Not much there, and thats ok
Another winner from Mal de Amor. Thick, simple-syrup like mouthfeel. Lemon heads at first blush. More lemon as it goes down, including some pine and a little rauchbier on the finish. Diggin it
Green. Coffee beans. Cantaloupe, red delicious apples. Finish is a tad hot for me… some gasoline type flavor in there that takes this down a full star
Banana runts all day. Mixed with the smell of wet hay and the taste of kiwi and green tea. Somehow, this holds together to form a different, albeit, pleasant tobala experience. Noice
I.Love. the mouthfeel on this lineup. Smells of white peaches and basil. Taste is sunflower seeds, more peaches, some wet dirt road? This is awesome. Can still taste it
Hot! Both literally (down the gullet) and in how badass this is. Rose hips, orange flower water, key lime, a touch of ancho chilis. Really nice
Yup, Zack nailed the sweetness/cotton candy. Slight teriyaki flavor. Kettle corn and gushers fruit gummies
3.75/5 I had this one with food so im not sure if it was my taste buds or the actual mezcal. However, I got a lotta umami flavors, along with tons of peach and kombucha. Odd pairing of notes, but I think it works together ok. Not incredible but not bad
Solid. Rolos candy. Wheatgrass. Pecan wood. Maybe some pepto in there somewhere. A little disorganized but I still enjoy it
Maguey Melate has been on a tear recently! Earthy peach cobbler. Lemons. Mulch. Prickly pear. Ambrosia!
Agree with Zack that there is some sort of bbq thing going on. Cumin, 5 spice, sweet baby rays sauce. I usually like my agaves more herbal or floral. This is fine, at least for a change of pace
Distractingly musty. Almost to the point of being off-putting. Like drinking a cologne made from an Army Surplus store. Mothballs (taste or smell? Ive never tasted them), heme, geueze like funk, blue cheese. Maybe others will like the profile, but for a Tep, this is out there
Another classic from Victor. This super approachable Arroqueno has notes of lime, sawdust, pepto, and mamey. Really awesome combination that just works. Finish is more lime and mamey with some molasses.
I really really enjoyed this. Leather, tobacco, mint, oranges. Mmmmmm
Still unsure about where to rate this one. This is a placeholder for future use at this point
4.25/5
One of my faves from MM. Heavy on the baking spices, clove, papaya. Vanilla latte and oyster mushrooms on finish
Another winner from Erick. Had side by side with RM Largo and wad very similar. Pineapples, slate, leather. This bottle is gonna go quick
Agree with Jonny on the toffee/caramel. Some granny smith too. Really nice minerality on the finish. Almost like it was mixed with a flat Rambler. Love this
4.75/5 OTT Exclusive. One of the best mezcal experiences of the past few years. Like an incredible pilsner or hefe, this dram is easy to drink but nuanced enough to have you begging for more. Oranges and Dr Pepper. Lilac and vanilla. So.Glad.I.Bought.A.Bottle.
Super limited batch, or so im told. Nose is burnt sugar, vanilla, oranges. Taste is sugar babies candy and more of the oranges/tropical fruit. Strange pickle flavor on finish that im not sure I dig. Still, enjoyable
