Beautiful. Cascahuin from the moment you sniff it and take a sip. But then, it surprises you with sweetness and smoke that is not very typical of Cascahuin. A great one for sure.
Brine, earth
Oak and cooked agave notes coupled with hints of vanilla and smokiness from resting in mezcal barrels. Very nice mouthfeel, light at first but then the agave and smokiness shine through. A near perfect mix of a reposado-like finish, that ends on a blend of slightly smoky mezcal notes, sweet agave, vanilla, and spice. It drinks like a high end, slightly sweet mezcal.
I went into this without knowing what to expect or the story behind this liquid. It blew my mind as I was expecting a standard Blanco. As soon as it hit my glass I knew something special was coming. I thought it was the background causing my glass to show a tint but sure enough it's straw colored. Wtf?! Nose- Agave, oak (?!), basil, earth, sweet fruit. Smoked meat. Now I'm making sure I have the right sample. Taste- A religious experience. Smokey iodine, agave, butter, anise, caramel, and faint vanilla (I'm guessing from the oak). Mouth feel is rich for a Blanco Finish- The scotch-like notes fall off quickly, leaving a spicy end to my experience. I don't understand what just happened.
