I'd like to get a bottle of Mezcal and I know pretty much nothing about it (apart from having a few good mezcal cocktails and getting samplers from barmen).

I really like the... well let's be honest it does taste a bit like dirt! It reminds me of when I helped my dad fix up my grandads garden and the smell of burning soil. It's not a sympathetic description but it was definitely an evocative smell/taste.

So basically I want an honest Mezcal (not an experimental new version with added flavours, and definitely not a liqueur version with sugar), just a simple traditional version.

Kinda keep it at about £50 and from a UK website.



I've used both those websites for Scotch so if it's something from there that would be great.

Cheers atot!

I don't know anything about mezcal, but if I were walking in a shop, I'd be looking at añejos. Spirits are almost always better aged. This bottle is attractive, and I'd be drawn to it. Might be garbage, so this isn't a recommendation, but I like the way it looks.

See I realised that I was just picking the darker coloured mezcals (plus which labels looked nice) and thats when I thought that I'd come ask people!
 
I can personally vouch for Don Julio añejo. It's fantastic, but it isn't mezcal. You kind of got me interested in mezcal now. You're a bad influence :^D
 
When it comes to Tequila and Mezcal, the difference between anejo and silver is not the same as the difference between a 2 year old bourbon and a 10 year old bourbon. It tastes different, and you just have to try both and see for yourself.
