Review #2017 | Mezcal Review #203
Distiller: Aquilano Garcia
Bottler: Vago
Brand: Vago
Selection:
ABV: 50.6% ABV
Age: NA
Nose: Clean and crisp – lots of pepper, citrus zest. Sweet cream, big corn notes rising sourdough.
Taste: Sweet and savory, there’s a lot of cream, grain, light salinity, minerality and black tea.
Finish: Not the wildest finish, but it’s for the better. Ashy, with bready notes, pepper, a bit of ash and some acrid grain notes.
Overall: Overall, Elote is always a fun trip. It’s unique and always has some additional character to it, but that can make it less of a safe bet compared to some of Aquilano’s other production runs.
Thanks for reading!
