Mezcal is not subject to the legal restrictions governing tequila. With that, it’s not a simple matter of a worm inclusion, but rather a “cactus spirit” like its cousin, which allows for the producers to play around with what they have on hand and the traditions of their forbearers.
Ilegal Mezcal
If you’re looking for a smoky mezcal, you needn’t travel further on your journey. Just look to Ilegal’s three bottlings: joven, reposado and anejo.
400 Conejos
All right, it means 400 rabbits and it has significance. But, what you need to know is this is smooth, and this is what mezcal can be when treated lovingly. With a nod to all involved in its production on the label, this mezcal is where you should start if new to you.
Meteoro
Claims that hundreds of years ago an ancient mezcalero used a light that lit up the skies of Oaxaca in the form of a meteor to create a pit he later used to roast his espadin and distill create this smooth brew.
Mezcal Amores
As the name suggests this is made with love and while they have over a handful of bottlings, their reposado from Santiago Matatlán, Oaxaca, deserves the awards it’s garnered through the years. While underproofed, who cares? Drink two or three.
Wara-Chudo
This company can not be found on the internet anymore than I can explain how genius its offerings are in every single chinga botella. This is what mezcal should be and it needs your attention this year.
