Hey guys, I have a friend whos birthday is coming up. He has been wanting to try Mezcal for a while, so I thought I would go and buy him a nice bottle of it. Since I have never had Mezcal before, could somebody recommend me a good Mezcal to give to him for his birthday? Preferably nothing about $60, but it's not certain.

Thanks guys,

Eddie

Anything from Del Maguey
Tehuana Mezcal with Chili
Tehuana Añejo Mezcal
Hacienda de Chihuahua Sotol Reposado
Real de Magueyes Añejo
Embajador de Oaxaca Mezcal Añejo
Embajador de Oaxaca Mezcal Reserva Especial-7 Year Old French Oak Finish

Any of these should run $60 or less....

Sotol is not mezcal. It comes from distilling the sotol cactus. There's one made in Driftwood, TX, Home of the Salt Lick, a legendary BBQ joint.

Forget about that. I think he's trapped back there. How do we get Jeff back to present day?

Never tried any. How would you compare it to a good Tequila?

I thought mezcal was just Mexican moonshine

Mezcal is garbage. Tastes like dirt.

The difference between mezcal and tequila, in a nutshell is tequila, by Mexican law, must be made from the blue agave plant. Mezcal is made from other species of the agave plant.

Here's a LINK about it.
