Perfectly cristalline and extremely thin in the glass. Initial aromas of olive, mown hay, pear and mild alcohol. Very light on the tongue, it opens with a vague creamy sweetness and unfamiliar grassy flavours. The sweetness soon yields to a mild bitterness at the back of the mouth. Herbal flavours and the noted bitterness dominate a clean but quick and otherwise unremarkable finish, leaving a slight astringency and soft buzz rather than a sharp alcohol tingle.

Overall, it is an unusually light product - completely apart from the smoky depths of other mezcales. It is also only 36% alcohol, and that might explain some of its mild characteristics.
Although there is little in this product that would entice me to buy it again, I do spend time each year in Oaxaca, and will certainly investigate more carefully other mezcales blancos.

This Mezcal has put me in between a rock and a hard place. Firstly its a blanco so the flavours and aromas are going to be different to my prefered Repo's and Anejo's. I am not going to say I don't like it but I am not the biggest fan.

I think when you smell a Mezcal there should be a little smoke but with the Jaral there is little to none. The aromas are more floral and herbaceous, more like a high quality tequila. It just tastes a little too commercial for me. Although it does have a long and clean finish, it doesn't really weigh up in the mouth.

Overall, an ok blanco mezcal that would be good for the novice.
