Pierde Almas Mezcal
Erstwhile Espadin Limited Edition 2018
Erstwhile Espadin Limited Edition 2018 is a mezcal aged in glass. It presents as hot and acrid with ashen notes of singed herbs, sage smudge, and charred pineapple. Traces of mints, agave, crushed red chili pepper, guanabana, and kiwi appear alongside decent initial sweetness. Lively acidity evokes bitter oranges while soil notes emerge with air. The finish carries smoky aspects that some find reminiscent of cigarettes, yet others perceive it as a phenomenal creation with faint gouda and blue cheese nuances.
