36 reviewsBottled 1/9/2014. Lot 014-ECO. I bought this bottle when I was making the switch from tequila to mezcal. Today, it reminds me of a lot of the good tequila I used to drink. Coming in at 40% ABV and aged in oak this mezcal is smooth and easy to drink. I recommend this one for anyone who is new to mezcal. It is slightly smokey but will not overwhelm you .
