Mezcasiarca Destilado de Agave Ensamble Ancestral Review
This blend of Tobasiche, Barril, and Espadín agave is rich in texture and profound in its depth of aromas and flavors. Equally green, smoky, and earthy on the nose, the palate is more notable for its impressive weight, mineral-like texture, evolution, and spiced finish. Consider its profile a greatest hits of mezcal, more than making up for its lofty price tag.
