A little astringent, some baked apple notes on the nose. Very light at 35% almost feels like an agave liqueur. Relatively round mouthfeel, longer finish than I’d expect.
Aromas: Fruity and floral. Citrus and a mineral pop to the nose. Flavor: Oily, piloncillo sweetness, cinnamon and pepper. Trace bitterness. The slightest hint of chlorine. Finish: A simple, straightforward mixto that would probably make good palomas. Can’t go too far wrong at $240 pesos ($11 USD).
Nose: A little flat on immediate pouring, but soon gives way to brown sugar, cinnamon, citrus and wet crushed rock. Flavors: Cinnamon and pepper heat. On the sweet side. A hard candy sweetness and feel on the tongue. Some bitterness to the sweetness. This is a mixto with a pedigree, and priced at $220 pesos. Maybe a mixer candidate?
Mixto 51% agave/49% piloncillo from 2010, 1L bottle. Great nose and taste for a mixto
