Alipús San Juan del Río mezcal receives positive reviews, praised for its earthy, smoky, and subtly sweet profile with citrus (lime, orange) and vegetal notes, often compared to peaty Scotch but with distinct agave character, offering great value for its price, though some batches can be hot initially but mellow with air, showcasing a complex, full-bodied spirit with notes of pepper, caramel, and roasted fruit.
