94pts from Omari Wheat of Distiller: "Oaxaca is synonymous with mezcal but it should not overshadow what's being done in other states such as Michoacan. A spirit as expressive of terroir as mezcal makes these “particulars” quite compelling. Produced using the rare agave cenizo in the “method ancestral”, this mezcal is distilled in both oyamel and pine wood stills. Up until certification, everything is measured purely by the senses and instincts of Maestro Mezcalero Don Jose Emilio Vieyra Rangel and his son Emilio Vieyra. In other words made exactly as it would have been over 400 years ago."
