Mezcal Pierde Almas Espadín

Nose: Notably earthy. Very bright and clean with characteristics of tropical fruits and a hint of cinnamon. Body: Astonishingly fresh and multi-layered. Palate: Begins with a hint of sweet mango, kiwi and pineapple, before becoming nutty in flavour and texture and eventually developing into a dry herbal, spiciness. All flavours are very lively and slowly emerge as different notes. Finish: Gently dry and smoky. The herbals notes of the Tobasiche agave are particularly present. Colour: Clear. This mezcal offers the perfect balance of flavours from four wild agave distillations: Cirial, Tobalá, Tobasiche and Lumbre. The agave Cirial creates a spiciness and a mineral element, while the Tobalá adds a thick body and sweetness. Lumbre and Tobasiche give depth and herbal characteristics. All the flavours emerge gradually and are easy to isolate and identify. The Mezcal Koch Ensemble offers a unique tasting experience that can easily compete with the best spirits in the world.

Nose: Deep, sweet and gentle. Very appetising. Shifts between gingerbread, chai spices and potpourri. Body: Remarkably textured and richly earthy. Palate: Starts with sweet spices, dried fruits and coconut, before becoming increasingly salty. Finish: Dry, with lightly emerging smokiness. Just the right length. Colour: Clear. Koch Olla de Barro is a unique mezcal, thanks to the artisanal method in which it is produced - rather than the copper distillation pots common to most manufacturers, this mescal is distilled in traditional clay pots (olla de barro) giving it a incomparable and delicious flavour.
