Review #: 201
Description: Banhez Mexicano
Spirit: Mezcal
Background: This is from the Banhez line of Mezcal. This one was distilled from maguey mexicano by Luis Pacheco in a copper still. Let’s jump right in
Distillery – Luis Pacheco
Bottler – Banhez
Brand – Banhez
Selection – N/A
ABV – 47%
Age – Unaged
Nose – Fresh veggies, lemon pepper marinade sauce, light cheddar cheese, popcorn, light berry sweetness in the background
Taste – Creamy, a little lemon. Taste is less defined than the nose. Kind of a general savory flavor that dominates
Finish – Briney, vegetal – funky seaweed, peppery, salty, touch of smokiness.
Score: 5
Would I buy a bottle? No
Thoughts: The nose on this really had some promise but I struggled to really define too many flavors on the palate and the finish, which was fine, just doesn’t quite align with my preferences.
