What Gary Says
DISCLAIMER: I’m a whisk(e)y enthusiast, and not familiar with Mezcal (so read at your own risk!)
Nose: Sweet, vegetal with fresh but mild green pepper, only a hint of cigar smoke.
Palate: Viscous, sweet with a vegetal note and a hint of corn and honey.
Finish: Short and drying, sweet with roasted corn.
Comments: Picked up a 50 mL of this along with two other Luminar offerings. Some of the reviews I’ve read on this called out that it is more like a tequila than a mezcal. While not terribly familiar with either, this definitely isn’t smokey like I’ve come to expect with mezcal. Pretty uninspiring and forgettable.
