Mezcal & Agave Spirits Reviews

Aguerrido Mezcal
Aguerrido Cupreata – Doña Erika
MM Vicente Sanchez Parada Nose: Gingerbread cookies, menthol, crushed agave, marshmallows. Palate: Sweet cream and lemon drops, charred jalapenos, brine; a warm and lingering finish.
Doña Mariana
Dona Mariana Blanco
Fiercely hot and peppery when I first opened the bottle, really not enjoyable at that time. But a month or so later it's mellowed. Still hot — alcohol burn and peppery spice — but now I can taste other things too.

De Matachines
De Matachines Lamparillo – Juan Manuel Pérez
No lot information on bottle; 49% ABV. From freshly opened 250mL bottle at home. Great minerality and traditional smoke profile.

Peñasco
Peñasco Plata
Predominantly Espadin, this is smoky and earthy with lots of black pepper and a bit of greenness probably from the bicuishe. One of my first entry level mezcals.

Puntiagudo
Puntiagudo Jabali- Rubén López
The best mezcal I've ever tasted. Absolutely stunning smoky notes perfectly balanced with hints of citrus and herbs.
