from the mezcals i have tasted, this one was my favourite when I was looking for something traditional. no need for some fancy designs and names to try to convince you.
not very smokey. did not go through the smoking process. so is more straight up espadin. not my favorite
Beautiful herbal, wild flavors in here with balanced citrus and smoke. Pretty strong. 93
This was a really excellent mezcal, in fact I ended up having two glasses of it.
If I remember correctly this earthy mezcal was among my favorite in Mexico City
