Staff Pick Notes

This is one of my favorite mezcals made with agave from the Cuixe family. The taste has notes of banana, papaya, and apple. It is very fruity but balanced and delicious. Beware, the initial taste is a little hot, but that gives way to a very round and viscous mouth feel. The flavor is very distinct and evolves into a very mellow, spicy sipper. You'l want to drink more and more of it. You'll want to buy more, too. Agave shortages are coming, so get 'em while it lasts.
