The smokiest Alipus.
Distilled by youthful maestro mezcalero Rodolfo Juan Juarez, this Espadín reflects high-altitude terroir on an upland plateau irrigated only by the rain. The use of the “del Rio” name is well advised because this distillery literally fronts onto and overlooks a river which supplies the piped-in water for the stills.
This is a very fruity Mezcal with a full-throated agave flavor. It's the fruit of non-irrigated Espadín “grown in sunny mountain-top plantings in ferriferous soil at 4,600 feet.” It is pit-roasted using black oak. Fermentation in tall red-oak vats is deliberately slow, creating a distinctive fruity richness. This is a big mouthful of a Mezcal that combines all the core sensations of agave fruit, smoke, and sweetness, with a structural minerality. This is definitely a Mezcal that would appeal to fans of peaty Scotch.

Antti,
It is an outstanding, balanced Mezcal Joven with a rich birth, full life, & delicate finish.
Marc,
Not quite what I expected, much better! Loved the rich smokey flavor.
Mario,
Loved the earthy and smoky flavors.
Jordan,
Tasty, but not too exciting. Smooth finish, bit of a bit up front.
Mark,
Earthy rich flavors with a hint of the surrounding country side vegetation. Served at 36 degrees with an orange wedge and a bite of chocolate for guests. All 7 people loved this supper licquid heaven. Well worth the dollars!
