Mezcal Fandango

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! 😆

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.

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

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

Tasty, smokey, smooth
