Sampled while out 2023. Dont have details only front photo. 48.2% San Luis del rio. Great profile, well balanced. Great for price. I didn’t find it to be hot.

coming back to a different bottle in 2024. batch HMA1-22, bottle 137, 47.4%. san luis del rio, tlacolula, Jorge Mendez. herbal, some ethanol on the nose. palette, sweet, grassy. but rather balanced. again i find it to be a moderately tasty espadin. one I would have again, especially for the price, not necessarily rave about but certainly not off-putting by any means.

Batch: ENNCLA2104 47.6v
This one is reeeeaally speaking to me. From aroma to finish. Very tasty. Sweet fresh grassy rainwater is my description. This brings me to another dimension. One of my favorites.

Batch: SNALB 05-21 46.7%abv
Aroma: cane sugar, papaya, cherry, fruity
Palate: maple sugar, cherrywood, candied orange, sweet floral, hay
aroma was abundant. really enjoy when catching pleasant hints before even nosing the glass. I dare say this but it’s reminiscent of anejo tequila’s I’ve had, but also different. This is down right fantastic.

Batch 14 Bottle 45 of 110 Distillation date 06/2020
Aroma: earthy leather roasted agave. shredded parmesan cheese lactic presence yet not overwhelming so. mm what’s this going to taste like
Palate: bright on the front, mineral touch into earthy body with a hinted floral finish. well balanced.
Pleasant easy sipper I could enjoy all night with family and friends.

Lote: DS010-C 49.1% abv
Aroma: leafy, green, herbal, mint, sage, cantaloupe, lemon oil
Palate: pine needles, bell pepper, jalapeño, chemical, floral, slight bitter finish

Don’t particularly love any part of this. While I appreciate this, I’m not drawn to having any more.

Batch 04 2019. 350 liters in batch.
Aroma: sweet bbq layers, parmesan cheese, mashed potatoes, molasses, hickory
Palate: Fresh, bell pepper, earthy, peat

I would happily sip this again, as in I very much enjoy it! Grateful to have the opportunity to taste this. Of the Raicilla’s I’ve tasted this is my go to.

Aroma:
Palate: fresh, green, melon
Batch: Tasting event. Didn’t get batch

Aroma: musty
Palate: roasted squash
Batch: agave mix tape 8

This was a delightful surprise. Returning to notes now that I’ve tasted from a few different bottles. Some I have preferred more than others. can be a little hot. And while I like this profile I don’t tend to want to drink it too often or much of it.
Aroma: hints of coco, earthen, backed by vegetal note
Palate: earthy. roasted. Sort of chalky(?) finish. light cacao. the espadin pairing is delightful.
