Review #113; Mezcal #1: Mezcal Vago Ensamble en Barro Tio Rey

Tio Rey

December 2018 Distillation Date

This will be my first Mezcal review

ABV: 48.5%

Nose: A sweetness, similar to aloe vera without the chemicalness, campfire smoke like its been burning on a nice evening, savory, hints of fruits and maybe some meat flavor to it.

Palate: Campfire smoke, Aloe sweetness, with the fruity hint. Delicious with a good mouthfeel to it.

Finish: Medium length, Smokey, agave sweetness, with other flavors I will admit to having some issues identifying. But they are good.

This spirit style is so different from anything Ive tried thus far, and I look forward to exploring more of them. Of the few Mezcals Ive tried so far this one is savory, sweet with a good balance of the smokieness that goes along with. A great summer drink.
