Mal Bien Mezcal 'Alto' Isidro Rodríguez Montoya Review
This mezcal is bright and crisp with surprising depth and intensity. The nose delivers notes of tropical fruit and barbecue smoke. Both continue on the palate, where they are underscored by minerality and green, aloe vera notes. Its nuance makes it great for sipping over ice, but the tropical fruit and overall complexity might have you reaching for your cocktail shaker.
