Palomo Mezcal Artesanal con Mole 700ml

Mezcal con mole takes the spice mix at the centre of Oaxacan cooking — chiles, cacao, seeds and warm spice — and puts it into the spirit, a practice closer to the pechuga tradition than to any flavoured liqueur. Palomo's artesanal base brings its own smoke from the pit-roasted agave, and the mole layers over the top of it rather than replacing it. The nose is woodsmoke, dried chile and cocoa; the palate is savoury and layered, with sesame, cinnamon, bitter chocolate and a slow chile warmth; the finish is dry, spicy and long. Sip it neat with orange, or use a small measure to lift a smoky margarita.
