It is a solid ok for me. Smooth with a pleasant finish. Has a sweet, almost floral flavor profile. It was not as smoky as I was hoping it would be. I will finish my bottle but will not buy it again.
About this bottle
The Reposado con Gusano is a unique release in the Wahaka Mezcal range. It’s the only aged mezcal in the line, starting as the Joven Espadín and rested from four to six months in re-charred American oak barrels. Additionally, it’s also the only Wahaka expression with the infamous gusano (worm), which the brand touts as “clarifying the radicals of the barrel” and purportedly has healing and aphrodisiac properties.

Makes an amazing Mezcal Old Fashioned (I used agave, orange and aromatic bitters - stirred with a orange peel)
Great flavor. A little burn going down but very enjoyable. Great pour at this location.
Honestly it’s okay. It’s also an older bottle so that might be it? It’s not the best.
vegetial & green in front of the tongue. Clean & sweet mid palate , smoky finish
Tobacco, agave, gasoline. Pretty smooth!
