Review #1196 | Mezcal Review #25
Distiller: Don Baltazar Cruz Gonzales
Bottler: Mezcalero
Brand: Mezcalero
Selection:
ABV: 48% ABV
Age: NA
Nose: Sweet and floral. Clay, honey, earth salt and light smoke. Ashy smoke – not like burning wood or savory meats. Really nice floral component to the agave stank.
Taste: Medium mouth feel. Nice body. Salty, earthy, good bit of clay. Pricky ethanol, but not too hot. Leather, tobacco, savory brine.
Finish: Short in length but rich and savory. Honey, seared pears, honey, caramel, light clay and a good deal of earthy character to balance out.
Overall: Really big fan of this one – great complexity and character with flavors I love to keep me coming back for more.
Thanks for reading!
