This mezcal is stark and abrupt, spicy and savory. The nose is an array of fruit ranging from fresh peaches to grilled pineapples. It tastes of savory smoke, ash, baking spices, butterscotch and a bit of that grilled fruit that seduced us on the nose.
What we have here is a homemade (at least I think so) 4 year old rye from Willett, a Kentucky distillery that's been open for at least 10-15 years but didn't start distilling and aging their own stocks till probably the early 2010's. From what I've heard,...

Chichicapa is tough to put down, and stands as one of the top bottlings of the Del Maguey line. A DRINKHACKER.COM
