what no down vote? I just figured out your mystery "hater" is a Mezcal lover... BAM...! ! !

I like tequila but I prefer mezcal. Tequila is made from a single agave (blue) and mezcal can be produced with 40 different varieties of agave. My favourite brands are Pierde Almas and Del Maguey. Each expression is produced in a different village and usually a family affair. It is artisan and small scale but the quality is extremely high. The good mezcals do not need water and should be drunk as they are without mixing or lime. You wouldn't do it to whisky. Great review boys. Scotch it. WT

Hola! "Aimee's husband" says you should review Jose Cuervo Reserva De La Familia this year. It's a "kissing" tequila and he says it reminds him of scotch. If not the Reserva De La Familia, he prefers Mescal when in Mexico.

Mezcal Del Maguey Chichicapa is awesome and has plenty of smoke in it!!!

for mezcals... need to get a pechuga style

That is a really nice bottle that it comes in. Could almost reuse it as a decanter from the looks of it.

Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Joven is meticulously handcrafted under the supervision of master distiller Fernando Santibañez. The heart of this joven is produced at a traditional palenque in Matatlán, Oaxaca, by Abel Lopez, a third generation grower and distiller. Abel cultivates Agave espadin to meet Mexican organic standards by Certimex. After approximately seven years, the agave is harvested by hand and cooked for three days in an underground stone oven heated with mesquite. The cooked agave is then mashed by the tahona method and naturally fermented in open pine vats. The fermentation process is monitored by sight, sound, and smell. Following fermentation, the must is double-distilled in copper alembics, filtered and precisely blended to 84 proof. The final product has a robust profile with aroma of agave, soft fruit notes and semi-smoked character. Mezcal Delirio de Oaxaca Joven: 100% agave and certified by the Mexican government / COMERCAM

Whiskey/Whisky is spirit made from Grain. Be it Rye, Wheat, Barely, or Corn.

Tequila/Mezcal are made from Agave. Tequila specifically being made from Blue Agave, and it must be from Jalisco. Much like Bourbon must be from America, and Scotch from Scotland. Mezcal is a more generic term, like Whiskey. that just means spirit made from Agave.

So technically Tequila/Mezcal cannot be called whiskey/whisky since it is not grain spirit.

I love the dabbling of different spirits. Don Julio 1942 Anjeo tequila is awesome

what do you guys do with all the whiskey you have left over after the reviews? can you send me some for my birthday?
