What Gary Says
DISCLAIMER: I’m a whisk(e)y enthusiast, and not familiar with Mezcal (so read at your own risk!)
Nose: Sweet, subtle with vanilla, honey and oak.
Palate: Sweet with vanilla and honey, just a hint of oak.
Finish: Short and drying with vanilla and a bit of pepper.
Comments: This is similar to the Luminar Mezcal Reposado, except the additional months in oak seem to rob it of its character, leaving it mellow but flat. I expected to like this the most, but in fact this was my least favorite of the three. This could have been a mashbill of almost anything, which was disappointing.
