Dry and boozy, this delicious late-night sipper unusually mixes two different single pot-still spirits, one smoky Mexican agave and the other characterful Irish barley

The Del Maguey Vida was a little smoky for my taste to begin with, but after a while, when my rock of ice melted a bit and my drink became more diluted, I began to enjoy it more.

Tasted great with bourbon, can't wait to try it with an appropriate Irish Whiskey. Bénédictine is such a heavy lifter, a must have in the bar. Ditto Peychaud's.
