So musty!! Reminds me of an attic in an old house. Sandalwood, sawdust, box full of old sheets, mothballs, varnish, and fruit rollups. Interesting.

This tastes really thin and watered down. Vanilla bean, wicker chair, beach ball, and steamed zucchini. Rare miss from one of my favorite brands.

Wow. One of the best Jabali Mezcals I’ve ever tasted. Delicate and complex. Apricots, incense, and tons of fresh herbs. I’m so bummed I only had 50ml.

50.5% batch. Delicious. One of my all time favorite Jabali Mezcals. Vanilla ice cream, pound cake, new leather jacket, mango, pineapple, and orange fanta.

This is funky and sour with enough sweetness to just balance the sourness. Big anise notes of black licorice and fennel fronds, lemon juice, rotting mangoes, cinnamon, and celery. Weird in a good way.

Holy Cardamom!!!! This is very Cardamom forward. I totally understand the impression of Kheer rice pudding because there’s also lots of baking spices. I get flavors of spiced apple pie, sultanas, mincemeat pie, and Thompsons raisins. I think this Pechuga is absolutely delicious!!!

To me this tastes watery, burnt, chemical, and overly smoky. I’d really like to know what resulted in these flavors. Burnt leaves, acrid smoke, plastic, rubber, and pine cleaner.

As far as I understand it, Lechuguilla is just a generic term that covers a couple Agaves that have been identified (Bovicornuta, Shrevei) and a ton of Agaves that haven’t been identified. I love Lechuguilla!! I have a bunch of different Lechuguilla Mezcals and they all taste completely different!! This one is definitely what flannel would taste like (great note GreenspointTexas!!). It’s also raw and wild and has a lot of what I love about spirits from Chihuahua. It’s like driving a flannel lined semi truck carrying rocket fuel down a mountain while burning your breaks, painting your nails, and huffing amyl nitrate. I’m really digging this.

Ha!! This is a really interesting Mezcal!! So much going on here! It’s very sweet but also funky and complex. At first I couldn’t taste any apples, but then on the finish there it was! Apple sauce!!! Anyways my tasting notes are Kerns Pear Nectar, Bbq potato chips (nice one Zack!), macadamia nuts, pineapple vinegar, cardboard box, and cinnamon sugar. I like this one a lot, and the love and respect between the mother and daughter in the videos made me tear up almost every time. I can’t wait to try more of their Mezcal!

I really like the story and the videos for this expression, and the Mezcal did get better and better with time. I get some of the sweetness and baking spices other reviewers have mentioned but it finishes very salty and bitter for me. Like drinking salty grapefruit juice after brushing my teeth. Maybe I got an off bottle?

Whoa!!!! I love this!!! It’s got all those beautiful flavors that I love from Agave Inaequidens (Alto, Bruto) and no noticeable imperfections. I taste Granny Smith apples, blue cheese, and something that tastes the way a fresh can of tennis balls smells when you open it. When I swallow and let the air out of my nose I get an intense explosion of mint like taking a handful of spearmint Altoids candy and chewing them up, I love it!!!! The finish is very long and just a ton of mint, and some beautiful floral, herbal, and citrus flavors like lemongrass, lemon verbena, and jasmine. So freaking delicious!!!!

ACR046. I’ve tried multiple different batches of Coyote from this producer and some I definitely like more than others. This batch is excellent! It’s got this deep complex sweetness that I just can’t get enough of. Cinnamon, star anise, mud, hot apple cider, apple pie, Indica, redwood tree bark, s’more‘s, and blackberry jam. I could sip on this all night.

ACR033 ESP-A. First time I sipped this one there was an initial barnyard funk that reminded me of some Raicilla‘s then it quickly morphed into sweetness. Martinelli‘s apple juice, vanilla frosting, yellow starburst candies, clover honey, and orange Creamsicle. Some white pepper in there too. This is really good.

ACR052. Something animally like wet wool, and curing leather. Clove cigarettes, over ripe pineapple, burnt sugar, roasted peanuts, and boiled green beans. The more I sipped this one the more the roasted peanuts came to the front. This one’s super interesting and I really like it.

MGG-13C. Wow I got completely different tasting notes than everyone else! I guess that’s how the brain works though. When I first tasted this Mezcal I loved it right off the bat! My first thought was chocolate ice cream with raspberry jam. I love that combination! Also some caramelized banana, and Jamaican allspice. I’m a big fan of this one.

MGG-12T. Creamy and bright with a slightly bitter finish. Fresh jalapeño, vanilla bean, cinnamon toothpicks, crushed lime stone, peppermint oil, Listerine, jasmine, and coconut milk. Copper and grapefruit pith on the finish. Solid Tepextate.

For me this is a perfect Miahuatlan Karwinskii Ensamble. It’s on the same level as Mezcalero 22 and 16. Pound cake, vanilla frosting, coconut milk, Thai iced tea. This is definitely my jam.

Do they make any bad Mezcal in Guerrero? They must right?!?! I haven’t had any though. Pine forest, peppermint candy, ground coriander seed, carraway, Almond Roca Toffee candy. Yum.

When I first opened this and tasted it, it was all big flavors of smoked pork. I love bacon but not necessarily in Mezcal. After a couple days it opened up a bit with some tropical notes of Juicy Fruit gum, and dried apricots.

Whoa!!!! This is a monster of a Mezcal!!! So much flavor!!! Pineapple upside down cake, concentrated date syrup, balsamic vinegar with figs, unsweetened cocoa powder, old leather jacket, pomegranate syrup, and dark brown sugar. So good!!!!! I need to visit this Mezcalero for sure!
