Montelobos Mezcal (86.4 proof)
Visual: Clear.
Nose: Sweet smoke, roasted agave and toasted bread. Soft and warm like a Mexican sunset.
Taste: Smooth and smokey with a hint of nuttiness. After a few sips, cocoa and corn husk add an offbeat dimension.
Finish: Long, with a gentle smokiness and laid back hint of caramelization.
Overall: A contemplative mezcal which can be paired well with pork, corn or chili poblano dishes. Works well as a nightcap too. Very nice indeed.
