Distiller: Felix Angeles Arellanes

Bottler: Maguey Melate

Brand: Maguey Melate

Selection:

ABV: 47.7% ABV

Age: NA

---

Nose: Extremely fragrant. Lots of pepper, stanky agave, beef and garlic, ammonia, cashew and some soil. Bizarre but really complex

Taste: Rich on the palate. Cassia, meaty and vegetal. Not crisp in the string bean way. This reminds me of cinnamon, beef broth, soil and garlic. Extremely savory.

Finish: Short to medium finish. Bitter, earthy, meaty and savory

Overall: This is someones cup of tea but I”m not wooed by it. It’s well made but the flavors don’t encapsulate some of the things I love most about Mezcal.

Thanks for reading!
