I think what most people don’t realize is that the cheaper, watered down mezcals are super smoky and harsh. Those bottles are meant for cocktails. There are so many different types of agave that have wildly different flavors and have less of a smoke presence. They can be earthy, floral, and fruity as well. Tequila can only use Blue Weber Agave, while Mezcal can use a wide variety of agave, which each have their own unique flavor. It’s another expensive rabbit hole to dive down when you want something new to try :)

[@bdwilcox]

16:27 Mezcal margaritas have been my go-to at Mexican restaurants for years now! The smokiness makes it so much better. Also: Espresso martinis with tequila instead of vodka. It's not a combo I ever would have thought would work, but I tried it at a fancy Mexican restaurant in LA and loved it. Tequila adds a touch of funk that compliments the espresso shockingly well.

[@caustic_rage]

Y'all, I rarely comment on stuff I watch - but I'm *SO* excited that you felt something good about mezcal. A little clay cup, with some orange slices and salt+tajin on the side, is like medicine for the soul. Some worthwhile varieties to look for: Koch El - Arroqueño OR Barril (both beautiful and clean daily drinkers. Reliable, fresh.) Yuu Baal - Pechuga (maybe my ideal pairing with food. The most vegetal of my favorites) Derrumbes - San Luis Potosí (Salmiana) (I don't see a lot of Salmianas around. Rich and warm) Bozal - Guias de Calabaza (Espadin) (it tastes *nothing* like any other Espadin. Refreshing, cool, mutant pick) Making friends with the bartenders at my local mezcal bar was a great fortune to me. I had been exploring, but these cats had access to a lot more than I was able to try before last year. I look forward to a Whiskey Tribe - Mezcal Adventures episode in the future :D

My bro went to Mexico for his honeymoon...long story short, he likes a drink and, (to paraphrase) when in Rome, you gotta try the tequila. I had also asked him to bring me back some mezcal too (he did, and he bought a bottle for himself, which we tried at his house when he got home...and it's awesome!) So, what he finds while over there is that the locals distil their own and literally just sell it on the roadside next to their farms...for, like, no money...and it's pretty good stuff too! Itld be awesome to see you guys rocking up in Mexico at a few roadside vendors, buying random bottles then just doing a taste-test of them all once you get back to your hotel/rental. Itld be even better if you were able to pick out a winner and develop a business relationship with them too.

When someone ask for a palatable rum, I usually refer them to Bumbu for just an easy drinking, sweet rum. The six year cherry cask XO is more for a nice sipping rum experience, and is a different rum sourced from Panama, rather than Barbados like the unaged Bumbu.

Hey guys, love how much fun you bring to tasting and drinking with friends. Had a small question though. I like having whiskey/bourbon w/ ginger beer or a nice old fashioned with the luxardo cherrys. I usually stick with Bulleit (honestly from costco) and I wondered if you had a reasonably priced alternative? Was thinking of trying the Kirkland brand single barrel bourbon whiskey, but would love some advice since i dont go to many tastings. Thanks for all the fun and laughs you all bring!!

[@Cre8sumthing]

Not the one you're asking, but bourbon is a favorite of mine and Bulleit is my go-to for old fashioned. I'm sure there's better, but I've never met better in that price range. Whiskey Tribe has way more knowledge than me...here's hoping they see this and answer. All that said, Kirkland can really surprise ya...in the best way. Costco's buyers know their sh*t and some of the KIrkland stuff is really good.

[@cassgil8448]

Thanks @Cre8sumthing. My other go to is Jameson for adding ginger, and I've had several of the usual (less expensive) suspects; Makers, Jim b, Jack, and Johnny. I 100% agree with you with Bulleit, I think I just want to change it up a little. Thanks again for the response.

[@ekbuz]

@@cassgil8448 It's hard to beat Bulleit at the price, but I'd say try Wild Turkey 101. A little higher proof and higher rye content give it a nice little kick. I don't feel like Makers being a wheated bourbon works as well in many cocktails. An Old Fashioned was traditionally made with rye, so you could go with a rye like Rittenhouse Rye Bottled-in-Bond as well.

[@cassgil8448]

Hey @Chad Zubke, I appreciate your input, I'm also not a big fan of Makers. But I have seen the 101 on several of their lists. I think I'm going make a small list and drive to a whiskey bar to do tasting, I'd just like having something prepared. Thanks again
