Reviews
Skip for sipping—widely panned as industrial Cuervo product that doesn't represent real artisanal mezcal. Fine for cocktails if it's all you can find under $40, but better value options exist.
Nose: smoky, gasoline, earthy, salty olives, cooked agave. Palate: funky, citrus, artificial banana, harsh. Finish: smooth, long, smoky, sometimes burnt plastic or jet fuel.
