Mezcal is excellent stuff IMO and gives you a historical perspective of what tequila once was and how far it's come over the last 200 yrs.
I don't know from experience but as I mentioned, I would give it another go around. The Crema was more like a mix of rubber cement and agave nectar...it just didn't hit the pallate the way I thought it would. I may break down and try something like Scorpian or Monte Alban which is in an affordable price range and would probably give me a better opinion of Mezcal.
