So I picked this up for $24.99 at the local liquor store. And I have purchased $60 mezcal that tastes no better. I mean it’s not something rare and expensive but it will do fine for sipping. You get a nice mellow smoke and smooth flavor for a good price

Lots: xj-06 bottle 07 when you first pour in a shot glass. I immediately get a citrus aroma. Possible tamarind. I don’t think it’s in the recipe but it’s there. Kind of sweet and sour. You don’t smell smoke. Taste is totally different. Although still a slightly sweet and citrus flavor the perfect amount of smoke comes through. The finish is still lingering smoke. Even though it’s joven/young it has a delicious balance of flavor and smoothness. I would buy again at this price point
