Share
Los Siete Misterios Mezcal / Blue cheese & blueberry / Ancho Reyes / Lemon / Egg white
Created by The Spy Bar (UK) for its guest shift at Vesper, Bangkok, the “War Room Sour” is a mezcal‑driven twist on the classic sour. Smoky Los Siete Misterios mezcal meets Ancho Reyes chile liqueur, a tangy lemon‑egg‑white sour base, and an unconventional blue‑cheese‑and‑blueberry pairing that adds both savory depth and jammy sweetness.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Light mezcal smoke layered with ripe blueberry, subtle chile spice, and a faint, creamy funk from blue cheese.
Palate: Silky sour body; upfront citrus brightness quickly yields to roasted agave smoke, sweet‑tart blueberry, and a savory, umami note reminiscent of aged cheese. Gentle warmth from Ancho Reyes threads throughout.
Finish: Medium‑long, starting zesty then finishing with lingering smoke, mild chili heat, and a saline blue‑cheese accent that invites another sip.
Overall: A daring, well‑balanced sour that harmonizes smoke, spice, fruit, and umami—modernist yet approachable, perfect for adventurous palates seeking complexity beyond the classic mezcal sour.
