Sounds interesting.
A friend of mine is on vacation in Mexico right now, will tell him to bring some Mezcal and report back.
Don´t think I have seen that in Europe before.

My cousin was just in the office and took a shot and freaked out. He ran out to the garbage can and started having convulsions in it or something then he came back in all red looking and said "never again" "that shit fucked me up" then left.
He drinks that nasty Canadian mist like water so I'm confused.

As has been said, you don't normally mix it, you drink it like wine. But if you must mix it, you can do club soda and lime. I like mine that way. But again, thats not the traditional way of drinking it.

I got a gnarly headache from drinking mezcal (probably lower end) @ the bar. Very smokey and peaty taste.
It tasted like a whiskey tequila anejo.
All the parts I didn't like.
I haven't tried a blanco mezcal so I can't definetely say.

There's a bar that I regularly go to and they once offered me some mezcal that they got in, weren't even selling the stuff, just offering it to regulars. I remember that smoky purity and the sensation of it just evaporating on my palate, leaving a tingling sensation and making you reach for another sip.
I need to get back into this stuff, thanks Veloce for starting the thread.
Feel free to PM me for wine advice or other stuff

Had my fair share of a bottle of Mezcal Blanco last night, called Whaka Espadín. Highly recommended for all Tequila Silver lovers who have not yet tried.
That said, I had a hangover from hell today. Though it probably had more to do with the quantity and almost no sleep.
