2021 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Vago Espadin Emigdio Jarquin Mezcal (Mexico), 50.3% abv, $50.00, 750 ml

95
Extraordinary,
Ultimate Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Clean and distinguished on the nose, yet there is a satisfying funk layered underneath with fermented mango, pickled jalapeƱo, banana peel, and pineapple stalk. Bold and peppery at first on the plate, it softens with hints of caramel and caraway before finishing with salty minerals.
