This was my first mezcal purchase and it remains a good value. Lots a big and smoky flavors. I remember really enjoying how smoky it is. While I'm not sure I'd purchase another bottle I'd happily drink it neat, chilled, or in a cocktail if it were offered :). Should be 3.5 stars.
I am not a big fan. Very sharp, has a back of the throat burn. Burnt rubber predominates with some smoke.
Tried in Mexico City. Better than the purple label ha
