Pierde Almas Mezcal
Alipús San Luis del Río 2018
Alipús San Luis del Río 2018 is a mezcal ensamble that balances sweet agave notes with distinct mineral character. The nose presents salt water taffy, roasted jalapeño skin, spearmint, and red hot firewood. On the palate, the spirit is big and boozy with a medium-full body that numbs the lips. Flavors of clay, fresh parsley, and agricole emerge alongside sweetness from espadin, quince, coconut, and banana. While the finish is somewhat short, it remains full and rich with a smooth mouthfeel that lingers.
