  • Used Fidencio Clásico instead of Vida. Boozy and balanced. Reminds me of my variant of the Rosita (w/ perfect vermouth and Gran Classico).
  • Great agave drink, surprinsingly drinkable with such an amount of mezcal — ★★★★
  • One of the more pleasant employments of mezcal, to my taste. Lovely clear orange color.
  • Intensely smoking, pepper, with a surprisingly mild fruit background. Very slightly bitter finish. A good sipper. — ★★★★
