My husband is a fan of Casamigos, he was very excited to try this Mezcal. His excitement was quickly destroyed when he almost spit out his first sip! There was a moment between swallowing and wretching. He chose to swallow, and regrets his decision. It smells like synthetic smoke and tastes like death. He promptly poured 60 dollars down the drain. George Clooney should come over and personally apologize for this atrocity.
