LCWoody Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 It’s a good one. I’m a fan of all the info they put on the label, as most Mezcal’s do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beasled Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Cracked this from El Destilado. Mezcal continues to be one of the most beguiling, surprising and tasty spirits these days. Yum. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never picked up that series because I heard it’s very smoky. How Smokey is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I missed this! I don't find this particular bottle to have much smoke, but they will differ from batch to batch I guess! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlutz Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 Anyone familiar with this mezcal? I’m fairly confident in my abilities with whiskey, rum and somewhat with tequila. This is my first mezcal and I’m struggling with the smokiness. I know it’s supposed to be a signature flavor but it seems overwhelming. I’ve tried it neat, with ice and mixed with grapefruit soda and a lime. Am I doing it right? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you’re doing it right. Try it. Then, try and adjust it to your liking it. If nothing, Then maybe just just dive deeper. If it still sucks, give it up! Easy Peasy.

MShoulder Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I, too, recently started exploring mezcal. One of the first things I learned (and forgive me if everyone else already knows this) is that mezcal is to tequila as whiskey is to bourbon. in other words, all tequila qualifies to be mezcal, but not all mezcal qualifies to be tequila. At a minimum, that disproves the old adage that "all mezcals are smoky.." Most of them seem to be smoky, but the amount of smokiness varies a lot, so if you find one that is too smoky, you may want to try a different one. I've tried three so far -- one was so smoky that I felt like I was smoking a cigarette while I was drinking, but the other two were significantly less intense. All three also had a lot of different flavors that tequila doesn't seem to have. So, I guess I'm just trying to say don't give up -- keep hunting. Good luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinjoe Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Like peat in scotch, the degree of smokiness perceived in Mezcal seems to vary wildly by individuals’ palates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust your taste buds, that Mezcal is not any good. Maybe for mixing or something like that definitely not neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, this is a commonly available bottle and a prime example of what mezcal should taste like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chacolo’s and Real Minero are lovely well made and flavorful. The unique and variable qualities of Mezcal never gets old 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
