Los Perdidos De La Noche Mezcal Artesanal Review

We are not the biggest fans of aged mezcal, which tends to cover-up the subtlety and nuance of specific agave aromas and flavors, but this is a shining example that this non-traditional practice can still work. This 100 percent Tepeztate mezcal, made from 18-23 year mature agave, was aged for 4 months in casks that formerly held Cognac. A single barrel release, bottled at barrel strength (52.32 percent ABV), it is peppery and vegetal, like you would expect from a Tepeztate, though it is backed by slight hints from the barrel — vanilla, light oak, and a touch of smoke. Worth the splurge.
