Desolas Blanco vs Reposado Review | Can Low-Smoke Mezcal Change Your Mind?

Desolas Blanco vs Reposado Review | Can Low-Smoke Mezcal Change Your Mind? Is Desolas Mezcal changing the way people think about mezcal? In this review, I take a deep dive into both the Desolas Blanco and Desolas Reposado, a unique low-smoke mezcal crafted from 100% Salmiana agave in San Luis Potosí, Mexico (AAMA 178). Unlike traditional mezcals that are cooked in underground earthen pits, Desolas uses above-ground brick ovens (hornos) to preserve the natural character of the agave instead of producing an intensely smoky profile. I discuss what makes Desolas different from traditional mezcal, the story behind founder GG Mirvis, and why the brand focuses on a brighter, more botanical style of mezcal. ➡️Production Details AAMA 178 San Luis Potosí, Mexico 100% Salmiana Agave 20–25 Year Mature Agave Above-Ground Brick Ovens (Hornos) Stone Roller Mill Extraction Juice-Only Fermentation Stainless Steel Fermentation Tanks Copper Pot Distillation Desolas Reposado Aged in Ex-Bourbon & Ex-Tequila American Oak Barrels ➡️Tasting Notes Desolas Blanco Herbal Citrus Mint Minerality Desolas Reposado Vanilla Caramel Oak Baking Spice If you've tried Desolas Blanco or Desolas Reposado, let me know your thoughts in the comments.
