Mezcal Artesenal Review
Alluring smoke aromas emanate from this mezcal followed by mango, apples, and some spice. The heady mix of aromas draws you in and stops you in your tracks; you get lost for a minute, then realize you still haven't tasted it. Smoke is once again the dominant feature on the palate, with the fruit and spice falling away a little. Is it too much? That all depends on how smoky you like your mezcal. Personally, I'd opt for it in a split-base Marg along with equal parts tequila.
