Mezcal Fandango

Tasty, smokey, smooth

A bottle purchased from ye old BC government liquor store on Commercial Drive in Vancouver. The cheapest of the lot, about $50 and tax, CDN. One ounce in a Glencairn glass, no refrigeration or other nonsense. Smoky and vegetal-herbal on the nose. Take the nose impression, add some citrus, and there you have it. Haven’t had a mezcal in at least a decade, so I’m fine with it. I noticed some barrel-aged mezcal in a cabinet in the store, but similar to tequila, I think I’d prefer the blanco product. I love barrel-aged whiskey and some styles of beer, but I’m also a fan of the herbal character of agave spirits, and I think the barrel aging obscures that. Anyway, this bottle gonna last me a while. I’m not planning to be a mezcal connoisseur. I just wanna have a bit of variety in my liquor cupboard. Totally unrelated to the product, let me tell you how fucking awful the browser version of Distiller.com is for editing! 😆

Missing.....a lot. Minimal smoke, not much on the finish

Sweet, spicy and citrus heart, full body. Not very Smoky. Excellent entry level Mezcal

It’s very smooth ... like Enrique Iglesias on a first date.. It’ll go down easy.. it’s sweet, but you won’t feel a thing.. I can’t say it’s memorable.. yeahhhh... It’s an okay mezcal, but I wouldn’t recommend it.. but hey! It’s cheap enough to give it a shot. You’ll definitely get your money’s worth in good times.
