No hint of chemical that plagues the other inexpensive brands, but alas too low proof. Little bit of creamy, vanilla flavor on some smokey core. Better well Mezcal than Del Maguey's Vida in my opinion. #mezcal #espadin — 8 years ago

Sad to hear this company stopped producing /importing? Also sad this botte is on it's last legs. Oh well... Nice mezcal. More tails chemical flavor than I really want, but more pure than half the brands out there. Not really smokey but a bit of banana fruit in the lingering finish. #mezcal #espadin — 8 years ago
