Review and Tasting


Sampled on 29/01/2024

Appearance:

Crystal clear.

Aroma:

Earthy and flinty with restrained smokiness, burnt sandalwood and light citrus. Faint mocha coffee and floral notes.

Taste:

Earthy, meaty and high in acidity with honeyed roast agave, pronounced black pepper, smoke and burnt sandalwood. More subtle ginger, cinnamon, tobacco and roasted nuts.

Aftertaste:

Long salty, finish with elegant smoke.

Overall:

Excellent value for money, Del Maguey Vida de San Luis del Rio is the go-to cocktail mezcal but has the depth of flavour to be enjoyed neat as a sipping mezcal.
