So compared with DM or Scorpion, taste is way off from either of those?

I went to a mezcal tasting last year, and tried 12+ and there are definitely some unique tastes, some enjoyable, some not.

METL is another brand that is pretty good, El Senorio is ok, but it is tough to beat DM, Scorpion, and Los Danzantes. Wait until you try the Scorpion 5 year, I prefer it over the 7.
