Perhaps you've already discovered mezcal is a highly varied product, ranging from mild to dumpster fire with tires. Sorry if I sound like I'm mansplaining but if we were in close proximity I would gladly trade you a more subtle mezcal for thet pricey bottle of yours.

I knew that already. I was particularly aware of VIDA (the recommended Mezcal on Difford's Guide) and its smoky, burning tire, cost-cutting reputation. This is why I decided to splurge a tiny bit for this Mezcal. I have a feeling that it is all about getting used to it, as I can find the appeal of drinks made with it. It still is not a massive favorite, however.
