One of the few mezcals that are both organic and biodynamic. Fidencio Clásico is made using 100% espadín agave from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca. The agaves are roasted for three days in a traditional method using a stone-lined earthen pit. Fermented using ambient yeast and twice-distilled using an old cognac-style still.

This was the first mezcal I tried. It was great for sipping around the campfire. Now that I've had the chance to compare it with a dozen other mezcals I find it to be flavorful but a bit more rough then I would like. Good for cocktails but I'd recommend spending a few $ more if you plan on sipping mezcal neat.
Really fragrant, even from across the room - in a good way. Earthy without being funky, but bright. To taste, that brightness is lime juice (not zest) and maybe pineapple, light spice, just at the edge of smokey - like an unpeated scotch. No burn, not that hot, very smooth.
N: light earth and smoke P: very light earth an smoke followed by spicy burn F: short finish that doesn't add much The mezcal flavor is too light for me and the burn is a little too much for sipping. I might come back to it a try it mixed.
Agave, lime and a little Smokiness on the nose. Sweet agave nectar , lime and then hickory smoke on the finish. Like a Mexican barbeque. You can totally feel the alcohol, but it's a a good feel. Great sipping mezcal.
Smooth & Smokey. Would go great w/tequila in mixed drinks. I had it in a flight and it was my least favorite but also the highest ABV. Having it with water may have helped.
More like a 3.5, but regardless a very enjoyable Mezcal. Smokiness with leather and tobacco notes that finishes with sweeter notes. Maybe Carmel?
