Koch El Mezcal El=mental Maguey Espadin Mezcal (750ml)

Koch's entry level Espadin weighs in at a lower ABV than the rest of the collection. In a style that would suit as an aperitif, its genteel aromas suggest green banana, potpourri and mustard powder repeating in a pure, medium weight, accessible palate, laced with white pepper, papaya-like fruitiness, mineral and delicate incense smoke. Double distilled in copper pot stills. 40% Alc./Vol.

Notes from the producers... Aromas: At the beginning is a sweet smoky that evokes a fireplace, with notes of ripe fruit. Strong herbal presence, with a slightly minty finish with hints of violets and pineapple. On the palate: Ripe peach and cinnamon, with hints of white pepper.
