  • Excerpt: This agave-based gin bears a strong resemblance to mezcal. Bell pepper, hints of tire rubber and menthol on nose and palate lead into mouthwatering salinity and burnt rosemary exhale.

Raided Score is a conversion from an external site's score, to our in house uniform scoring system. Please see the FAQ for more.

  • Intro:

    Developed by students at Oaxaca University, this gin is triple distilled. Between the second and third distillation, juniper is added. Distilled on copper and steel. Let's get to it.

  • Nose:

    Sweet, very citrus forward, smells like juniper and a cross of the perfect margarita. Rich sweetness and citrus, bright effervescent agave. Creamy, with tons of zest.

  • Taste:

    Thin on the palate, but the flavor palate is really interesting. Ash, minerality, lime zest and creamy sweetness arrive first with a hint of pepper and juniper in the back palate. A hair on the hot side, but pleasant and enjoyable overall.

  • Finish:

    Short finish, more of the same. Heat carries here a bit, though the agave, lime and clay are interesting.

  • Overall:

    This is a super cool experiment. The end product isn't an amazing gin, but it makes for an excellent novelty bottling, and it is pretty enjoyable when all is said and done.

  • Score:
