So here in the Wine cellar, we haven't had a good conversation about Mezcal yet. After some "coming to god" moments with tequila as a young and very stupid man, I had written the agave spirits off as the devil's drink. However, I do love booze, so while in Beaumont, TX last month, I figured I would give it another go. With the small amount of whiskey experience I have
I knew I liked smokey stuff, so went with Mezcal instead of tequila. Wanted to grab a nice one, and I went with Mezcal Vago Mexicano.
This was phenomenal. Totally different than what I was expected. It's a nice earthy smoke, then a ton of stone fruit, then it vanishes from the tongue. It's light and delicate, and could almost be confused with a young islay, with a hint of sweetness on it. Definitely going to have to try others. What do you guys like?
