Salvadores 70 400
2022 Destilado Con Elote Mezcal

Category: Pechuga Mezcal

Date Tasted:
Country: Mexico
Alcohol: 50.2%
Clear color. Aromas and flavors of lime roasted in sunflower oil, green papaya, ramps, and mint and sweet grass with a round, vibrant, dry medium body and a warming, complex, medium-length finish revealing overtones of sweet lime and malt balls, prickly pear cactus, fried and candied green plantain, and eucalyptus and jasmine. Exceptionally subtle for a flavored Mezcal; Daiquiri or Margarita doesn’t matter as this will kill in a sour cocktail.
