Desolas Mezcal is a standout spirit that elevates the mezcal experience to new heights. From the first sip, it’s clear that this is a meticulously crafted mezcal that respects traditional methods while offering a refined, modern touch.
The most notable part, is that the smoke is less dominant – almost in the background of the actual taste of the agave.
The aroma is inviting, with hints of roasted agave, earth, and subtle smokiness that aren’t overpowering but perfectly balanced. On the palate, Desolas impresses with a smooth, rich flavor profile that brings forward the natural sweetness of the agave, mingling with notes of citrus, fresh herbs.
The complexity of flavors is astonishing yet approachable, making it a great choice for both mezcal aficionados and newcomers.
One of the most striking aspects of Desolas is its smooth finish. Unlike some mezcals that can have a harsh bite, Desolas leaves a lingering warmth that feels clean and satisfying.It is a must-try for anyone looking to explore the world of mezcal. Highly recommended!
I wanted to love this one, but I felt it was mediocre. Not a bad mezcal for a mixed drink because it still has the mezcal characteristics, if that is what you’re looking for. On its own – I prefer other mezcals to this. Love the bottle and the design of the brand though 🙂
Love love this mezcal. Very approachable. Very well balanced. Only reason I give it less than 5 stars is because I love the other variations more. I very much enjoy the slight vanilla and chocolate notes with hints of ripe agave and combinations of citruses.
Was a bit disappointed with this mezcal, seams very basic in flavor notes with a heavy stress on the alcohol after-taste. Flavor notes felt dimmed down with a purpose, and smoke comes through a lot for me, very sharply. Not a favorite but I can see it mixing with cocktails well.
I love this mezcal, this is the mezcal that got me into drinking mezcal. It’s simple and a go to, especially in cocktails. Big fan of the brand in general.
