Great combo, 4.5 out of 5. The Zucca bitter and Mezcal smoky earthiness blend seamlessly with the heat and slightly smoky/leather/umami of the ancho liqueur. The PAMA provides some ripe fruit and sweetness that rounds it out. Deep dark/rich color makes for a great presentation over a rock. Ancho Reyes has a way of tying things together and turning them up a notch, sort of the St. Germain of this decade.
