Monte Alban is a beautifully smoky mezcal, well worth trying!
Spiced, smoky aromas with hints of chipotle, earth, oak and cigar leaves.
Ash-like palate with sweet spices, agave, notes of paprika and wood resin.
Long, spicy finish with fragrant woods.
My son was disappointed to see that there was no worm in the bottom of the bottle.
Smokey and good flavour, not super smooth, but still a good mezcal.
Nice as an intro to Mezcal, the worm is always a talking point, but definitely low on the tree of quality mezcals. I figure it's the mezcal equivalent of Jose Cuervo tequila. On the bright side, I enjoyed it enough that I'll definitely be trying more mezcal, probably looking at the "Illegal reposado" mezcal next as a step up.
I ordered this. I made a terrible almost undrinkable mistake. No smoke. Just a rather rubbish tequila. Don't buy.
Quite possibly the worst agave related by product on the market, lacks any form of autheniticity. very rough and not very palatable. Please inform yourselves on other tequila's and mezcals before sampling monte Alban
