Verdict
This is one of two bottles in the catalog we'd score 5 agaves without hesitation. Felipe Cortés' ensamble is what mezcal is capable of at its upper bound – specific, structured, alive. Scarce. If you find one, don't hesitate.
When two serious agaves land in one bottle, the result can be this
Tasting notes
Nose: Wildflower, hot slate, dark fruit, gardenia, mineral damp
Palate: Tobalá's aromatic lift meets madrecuishe's density, with 52.6% ABV holding it together. Reference work
Finish: Impossibly long. Mineral. Floral. Drying
The bottom line
Top-tier work. Flat-out
