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! 😆
