Montelobos Ensamble Mezcal

LR3000 Nose: dried fruits like pineapple or mango. Green pepper. tropical with notes of natural leather and a touch of acetone. Taste: it hits your tongue like an explosion. very bold flavor. I definitely get a taste of tropical fruit like pineapple or mango but it is fleeting or overpowered by a smoky punch with an acetone finish. When it first glazes over my tongue I almost feel like it has a leather quality to its viscosity. Lots of leather and spice in flavor. It’s reminiscent of whisky…or the idea of whisky that’s aged in barrels. Has a certain level of spice to it and it lingers on your tongue long after you’ve swallowed. Edit review

Tequila/Mezcaltasting night. My palate cannot necessarily distinguish the notes of different tequilas beyond the vanilla, caramel, oak and agave, plus this was not a night for deep contemplation, so I will rate them based on how I enjoyed them. Excellent Mezcal, one of the best in my short experience with this spirit.

Not my cup of tea, but I see it is well reviewed. So smoky.

A real smoke show, earthy

Very smokey. Smooth.
