qklm 4.0

This is a wild ride. It tastes like the cornfields in the dog days of summer of my youth. It tastes like the sunset after a day of field hockey and soccer. It's unmistakably Mexican in origin, but anyone from the southern US will have a memory of the smell. The tight slate and sweet corn comes right on through. Nose: Graphite, Corn on the cob Palate: Slate, butter, sweet corn Finish: medium and dry. A truly unique experience from a truly phenomenal mezcal producer.

Andrew Eller 4.0

Best thing ever tipsy in a Mexico City bar, talking about the corn varieties. But upon revisiting in other locales a bit less enchanting, but still interesting!
