500mL bottle, pours a motor oil black with a small tan head. Nose explodes with intense mezcal upfront, with little notice of the adjuncts -- big, deep roasted body underneath. Flavour has more of the other elements, but is still dominated by deep mezcal barrels, medium roast, subtle cocoa nibs, and honestly not any of the chili, cinnamon or vanilla. But that's not an issue because the barrel character is pretty solid. The palate is a bit sludgy, but otherwise pleasantly viscous and thick. Not too rich or brutal, just nice barrel notes carrying this. Very good.
