Who likes mezcal(This is what I have, with review snippet)?

It is Monte Alban, and made in Oaxaca, Mexico.


Company sometimes gives a little leaflet about


the spirit. The Aztecs took this species of agave


(not the blue), and fermented the juice into "pulque".


When the Spaniards took over Mexico, they used


the plant to make a stronger drink, mezcal.


/////I'm drinking it straight, since I don't know any


better. If you never had Mezcal it is very pungent.


You could say it stinks. But it will give you a good


buzz, if that's what you want. Slightly different


feeling than you get from drinking tequila. This


drink is 80 proof.

I'm in San Diego, so I know tequilas.....Mezcal is NOT tequila...it's a brand all it's own and it will kick your behind. It's not the smoothest stuff in the world, but if you're simply looking to get your butt kicked, this stuff will take care of you. It's main claim to fame is the fact that they put a little worm in every bottle. (i think they still do this) And when you finish the bottle, you're supposed to eat the worm. Good luck.
Reply:Very new to me.
Reply:Very different from tequila, it has a earthy taste and much more smoky and "pungent", as you put it. The process is differ net and the plant it comes from is different...





I enjoy the mezcals from Del Maguey www.mezcal.com
Reply:I've had it many years ago and if you really want the good buzz it is capable of.. make sure you eat the worm in the bottle..for real!
Reply:My inlaws bought us a bottle of that same stuff for Christmas one year after we told them we like tequila.





I thought the stuff was appauling. It was the nastiest liquor I have ever tasted or smelt. We promptly gave it to a friend who has a home bar.
