  • What's a good tequila/ mezcal for sipping neat?

    I recently got into whiskys and feel a decent Mexican beverage would be a nice alternative.

    Is there a £40 bottle that's worth it?

  • Pensador mentioned above could be a nice one to start on. Mezcal Union is also quite a nice one. You can get the Del Miguey Vida for £50 at Mestizo (or £45 at whisky exchange), as I say I'm a fan of all of their output and that is their entry level option. A good rounded selection at Mestizo across the price ranges (https://www.mestizomarket.com/drinks/mezcal.html).

    It's tricky as like whisky there is a huge amount of variation in flavours depending on the everything like the agave used, the method to make it, location.

    I think it's normally suggested to look out for an Espadin first as they're often the easier agave to start on.

    A smaller bottle at 500cl but I'd say this offering from Sin Gusano might be a nice place to start as well https://www.singusano.com/shop/espadn-san-lus-del-rio-50cl-bottle
