Maguey Melate Chuparrosa Sergio Martinez Rodriguez

Not very complex but fantastic expression from maguey Melate. One of the best. Strong pineapple coconut flavors on the palette to start, then pleasant smoke and metal take over in the finish to balance. But the initial fruit notes linger long after dancing with the industrial notes. Also very viscous and rich. Excellent. Is this the mezcalera or the agave that brings these flavors?

Second tasting. So weird. Totally different notes prolly bc I’m new to Mezcal but still excellent. Pineapple coconut at first, then astringency, agave, metal and smoke.

Delicious. Kiwi, mole sauce, viscous, smoke coming in stronger in the finish with a pleasant spicy note.
