Review and Tasting

Sampled on 02/10/2023

Appearance:

Clear, pale amber.

Aroma:

Delicate wood smoke, sawn oak, eucalyptus and vegetal notes.

Taste:

Spicy, vegetal and delicately smoky with chewy oak and a distinct salinity. Eminently sippable.

Aftertaste:

Grassy eucalyptus with wisps of smoke and lightly spicy oak.

Overall:

If you like both mezcal and whisky then this oak-aged sotol could well be for you. It may originate from the desert rather than the coastline but it has a pleasing salinity that sits well with its eucalyptus, vegetal and lightly spiced oakiness.
