Tasting Notes:
This mezcal presents a complex nose with floral and fruity notes, including hints of mango, coconut cream, and graham cracker crust. On the palate, it offers flavors of sweet, thick, and delicious fruit, with a finish that becomes prickly and a bit more bitter, tasting of cantaloupe and a touch of pomegranate. The finish is artichoke-like, with lingering fruit notes.
