Del Maguey VIDA Mezcal
Mezcal Joven — Oaxaca, Mexico

Horribly unpleasant, unrefined, and a total drain pour. Reeks of a two cycle engine exhaust, burnt oil, hot kerosene, and melted shoe polish. I tried it in every conceivable way -- straight, on rocks, in margaritas, palomas, and more. It ruins everything it touches. The kitchen stinks like lighter fluid if I even open the bottle.
I have a hard time believing this is anything but a joke, and for $35 a bottle, it's the worst money I've spent on a bottle in years.

I had exactly the same experience with it! I thought I was the only one who didn't like it. By the way, I'm not sure if you've tried other mezcals, but from someone with exactly the same opinion as Del Maguey Vida, you should try Sombra mezcal. It tastes really good imo
