Thoughts: This was well executed. The flavors were sharp and crisp and tasty, but it didn’t feel like anything elevated it up beyond average. Still enjoyable and definitely finding that there is a wide range of flavors in Mezcal and that brine and vegetalness is something I’m looking forward to getting more into it.
