Nose: no smoke at all, very grassy, lemongrass Taste: starts sweet, goes to a salty limey taste, into a sweet fruit taste and then ends with a light smoke and nice spice Overall: very different and a huge fan. Super tasty a lot going on with it but overall bladed really well.

Deep in-your-face smoke that's rounded off with a hint of fresh vegetal agave flavour and sweetness. Good but heavy on the smoke for my taste. Probably comparable, maybe a tad sweeter than Creyente. $73 in Ontario.
Nose - sweet Palate - starts off sweet and good, then tapers off to be more metallic and nothing special Finish - not for me Overall - because of the finish wasn’t great for me
This is an approachable, if basic, mezcal. Lots of citrus (lemon zest and juice) and some smoke. Tastes good but not particularly memorable.
Very briny, salt water, hints of smoke and bacon. After a few minutes candied citrus.
vegetal. a bit of heat for 80 proof.
