It has a body and an acidity in the mouth that highlights smoke and fruit.

Production details
It's common practice that a mezcal is the purest expression of a particular type of Agave, however with this Ensamble, Montelobos decides to bring out the sharpness of the Espadín, along with the sweetness of the Papalote, rounding it up with the oiliness of the Tobalá.
