It takes 12 to 13 years for this strain of agave to fully mature. With a bright licorice-citrus nose and a hint of earthy persimmon, this wild child’s smoky character brings along herbs and pine with a touch of lemon bitters on the palate. Reminiscent of juniper and other botanicals used for gin, this liquid goes deep with swarthy notes of tobacco and charred oak.
Showing just the faintest straw tinge in the glass, this single-maguey mezcal offers a zesty dried-herb scent. The palate also shows plenty of dried herb flavor, plus hints of tomato, citrus peel and a strongly smoky midpalate, finishing with a minty fade.
