I personally like Mezcal, just as much or more than Tequila. I have approx. 40 listed here:
Mezcal Reviews - Tequila Brands, Ratings and Reviews - TEQUILA.net
Favored brands include Del Maguey, Scorpion, METL 2012, Sombra, and Jaral de Berrio
Check out Mezcal.com and some of the videos here. |
Thanks for the heads-up!
I do enjoy smokey flavors when I'm in the mood. Many of the Scotches I enjoy have very peaty/smokey flavor profiles.
I had noted your favored brands but have no idea of what the sell for yet. Can you recommend one or two of any that you enjoy, in a moderate price range of about $30 a bottle?
